When was the last time you had a real conversation with someone whose life you knew almost nothing about?
Human Libraries around the world have included people sharing experiences related to disability, neurodiversity, immigration, caregiving, mental health, faith, homelessness, identity, serious illness, and many other parts of life that are often misunderstood.
We are not announcing Duxbury’s Human Books just yet.
But that is part of the experience. You may sit down with someone you would never normally meet and leave seeing the world a little differently.

Some of the most interesting stories in a library are not on the shelves.
This Saturday, November 7, they will be sitting across the table from you.
Duxbury’s Human Library is back for a third year, giving community members the chance to have honest conversations with people whose lives and experiences may be very different from their own.
There is no speech and no panel. You choose a Human Book, sit down, listen, and ask questions.

What would you ask someone whose life is completely different from yours if you knew it was okay to ask?
That is the idea behind the Human Library.
Instead of checking out a book, you sit down with a person and have a real conversation. Human Books share lived experiences that are often misunderstood, stereotyped, or rarely talked about openly.
Readers can listen, ask respectful questions, and learn from someone they might never otherwise meet.
Duxbury’s third Human Library is coming to Free Library with Duxbury For All and Library Organization.

This is not a presentation about Kenya. Duxbury is part of the conversation.
Earlier this year, local residents shared candidly about accessibility, disability inclusion, communication, belonging, and the barriers people still encounter in our town.
On October 9, we are taking that conversation one step further.
Leonard Mbonani and Lucky Mahenzo of for the Children will share strategies that have helped communities in Kenya change harmful beliefs and practices surrounding disability. Participants will also be invited to share what we have learned here.
You do not need to work in disability or live in Duxbury. We welcome parents, educators, caregivers, professionals, people with disabilities, and anyone who cares about building a more welcoming community in the room.
The goal is simple: exchange ideas that could make both communities stronger.

They have spent their careers changing what happens when people with disabilities are feared, excluded, or written off.
Now Leonard Mbonani and Lucky Mahenzo are coming to Duxbury.
On Friday, October 9, Duxbury For All is bringing two disability leaders from Kenya to Duxbury for a conversation that goes both ways.
Leonard has 40 years of experience as a disability educator, researcher, director, and advocate in Kenya. Lucky is a Kenyan attorney and disability advocate working to strengthen the rights and inclusion of people with disabilities.
Both work with Duxbury resident and Duxbury For All member Abrams through their organization, for the Children. Jessica will facilitate the conversation.

What could Duxbury learn about inclusion from a community 7,000 miles away? And what could Kenya learn from us?
On Friday, October 9, Duxbury For All is bringing two disability leaders from Kenya to Duxbury for a conversation that goes both ways.
Leonard Mbonani and Lucky Mahenzo of for the Children will share what they have learned from decades of work confronting disability stigma and helping communities become more inclusive. Just as importantly, they want to hear from Duxbury residents about what is working here, where barriers remain, and what we can learn from one another.
