StoryShare
Stories allow us to see the world through another’s eyes. The Lakeland StoryShare project, which is based on the StoryCorps (storycorps.org) model, seeks to gather, preserve, and share the stories of people in the college community in order “to remind one another of our shared humanity, to strengthen and build the connections between people, to teach the value of listening, and to weave into the fabric of our culture the understanding that everyone’s story matters.” While Lakeland is one community, it is comprised of many voices. We hope to record these diverse voices in conversation and share those conversations with the campus community through this project. In the process, we will build a valuable digital archive devoted to preserving Lakeland’s diversity.
Human Library Event
Lakeland Library will host its first Human Library event in the fall 2020 semester. In the coming months, we will be putting a call out for Lakeland students, faculty, and staff to volunteer as human books. Human books are people who volunteer to share their experiences and answer questions from event participants. The human books often represent diverse populations, including marginalized and stigmatized groups.
More details about Lakeland Library's Human Library event and StoryShare podcast are coming soon!
