Those clever Swedes...
My coworker shared a fun article this morning about a library in the Swedish city of Malmö where you check out "Living Books" - as in, people. This was a special one-weekend-only project intended to "tear down prejudices about different religions, nationalities, or professions" by way of a 45-minute chat.You could sit down with a journalist, gypsy, blind man, or other locally recruited person of interest (nine total) in the library's cafe, and ask questions about their lives, jobs or beliefs.
What a great concept! The project may continue if it's a success.

Wow, I wish we had that available here. I'd love the opportunity to learn somethiing new about anyone. Something like this could help relieve so many stereotypes, impressions and maybe we would judge one another a little less. A living library...great concept.
