Defination
In “Living Library”, what you experience will be different from the previous reading experience. In every living “book” of real people, you can truly feel the variety of life, until its diversified. I hope that you can see and find your own life manual in it. The Living Library was originally called the Human Library, which originated in Northern Europe. Later, Ms. Ding Fei, who came from China, renamed the Human Library to Living Library in 2010 in order to localise the event to China’s national conditions, especially for the life work she carried out. Nandor LIM was introduced in 2011 and began to implement the Malaysian version of the Living Library with the support of AKASHA’s platform in 2012. Up to now, the living library open days ranging from once to twice a year have been held, and in recent years, he has actively collected real human textbooks from people who are willing to share their lives. At present, there are more than 30 books about all kinds of wonderful people (including local books and abroad).
