Books & More
Our Books & More page helps you find good books and media.Living Library
Imagine being able to "check out" a person with knowledge and experience in a topic or skill in which you're interested. That's the concept behind Canton Public Library’s new Living Library.Our goals are:
- To celebrate and promote diversity
- To encourage understanding and respect
- To challenge stereotypes and prejudices
- To have fun learning about each other and sharing personal knowledge
The first event in the living library series will be a Meet & Greet in the CPL Community Room on Saturday, September 25, from 1:00-3:00PM.
We will soon post videos from our living library "books" at this web address. Please check back or subscribe via RSS for updates!
