LISMORE'S LIVING LIBRARY: CONNECTING COMMUNITIES THROUGH CONVERSATION.

Lismore City Library has been involved with Lismore's Living Library project from its inception in 2006 as Austalia's first such project. This Library of Living Books is another facet of public libraries providing a meeting place, a learning resource and a comfortable and relaxing public place. The Living Library gives the city's diverse community the opportunity to talk to people and learn from them - people they would not normally meet. This is promoting and leading to better communication and understanding within the community. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
