A library in London is loaning more than just books. Designed to teach tolerance, the living library features individuals who represent stereotypes that are often the target of prejudice and hatred. Readers borrow the individuals for half an hour to hear their narrative and ask questions. Subjects included a Muslim, an immigrant, an atheist, a transgender individual, and a witch.
