We've got the dates for Human Library in Bucharest

As the Human Library in London will take place on 7th october, A.R.T. Fusion decided to organize the Human Library in Bucharest on 14 and 15 october.
We have already announced the human books who participated to our previous editions of Human Library and we count on them, but we are also looking for some new and interesting titles for the catalogue of this new edition of Human Library.
We are very excited about this project, we want to see how a Human Library will be perceived in UK because is something new for that community. However, we think this method will be well received and there will be lots of readers:)

As a preparation for october, A.R.T. Fusion organised 2 weeks ago, on 11of september, a Human Library during ONG Fest in Bucharest. The Human Library took place in a non-formal place, in the park, and everybody enjoyed the armosphere. We had almost 15 books, some "old" titles already known to the readers, but also some new titles in the catalogue. We let you with some photos from this nice edition of Human Library.

The poster

The poster for our Human Library is finally finished and printed with the help of our partners A.R.T. Fusion Association. Thank Ana Gradinariu for creating this nice poster for us! The streets of Ilford will be soon filled with this poster :)
