About the Program


This Human Library program is an opportunity to talk to two service members
with unique service histories and trades. In group conversations, explore
memories, stories, and technical expertise.


“The idea of a Human Library is that instead of books, visitors in groups
get to talk to multiple people with specific lived experiences, each for a
set amount of time before beginning a new conversation,” said Events and
Development Manager Anya Zanko.


Two service members, CPO1 Jonathon Sorensen and Lt(N) Michelle Scott, will
join participants for this program, and run 2 parallel sessions of
30-minute conversations; there will be a break in between each session.


Admission to this program is by donation. We will have hot chocolate and a
break between conversations.
