ABSTRACT The De La Salle University (DLSU) Libraries organised the first Human Library in the Philippines in August 2014. The initial target audience were undergraduate and graduate students of the University. In 2016, the Integrated School Libraries organised Human Library sessions for grade school, junior high school, and senior high school students. The activity allowed them to engage with human books actively, facilitating an innovative learning experience. This paper describes the Human Library program of the DLSU Integrated School Libraries. The program aims to promote respectful dialogue between human books and students, foster the culture of diversity and difference, and reduce prejudice and discrimination against people with different social and cultural backgrounds. The program has been integrated with the school curriculum, thus allowing students to have the opportunity to dialogue with human books from different backgrounds, such as people with a tattoo, members of LGBTQ community, people with mental health issues, people with bipolar disorder, and people with eating disorders among others. Through this learning experience, students are expected to appreciate diversity and are more open-minded at an early age, be more accepting and kinder to others, empathetic, and respectful.

与人类书籍的对话：促进年级和高中学生的尊重对话，多样性和同理心

摘要德拉萨大学（DLSU）图书馆于2014年8月在菲律宾组织了第一座人类图书馆。最初的目标读者是该大学的本科生和研究生。2016年，综合学校图书馆为小学，初中和高中学生组织了人类图书馆课程。该活动使他们能够积极参与人类书籍的学习，从而促进了创新的学习体验。本文介绍了DLSU综合学校图书馆的人文图书馆计划。该方案旨在促进人类书籍与学生之间的尊重对话，培养多样性和差异性的文化，并减少对具有不同社会和文化背景的人的偏见和歧视。该计划已与学校课程整合在一起，这样，学生就有机会与来自不同背景的人类书籍进行对话，例如有纹身的人，LGBTQ社区的成员，有精神健康问题的人，患有躁郁症的人以及饮食失调的人。通过这种学习经验，学生将被期望欣赏多样性，并从小就变得开放，对他人更加接纳和友善，富有同情心和尊重。
