July 25: Living library

What is a living library?  Like a traditional library, it offers a range of titles and topics. The difference is that the “books” are real people, whom you can talk with rather than read about. Eight people with different disabilities will share their unique lived experiences in a safe space for conversation and questions. Cold treats will be available for purchase from the The Ice Cream Truck — SDSU Ice Cream, and interpreters will be available. The event will be from 5 to 7 p.m. Thursday at Sertoma Park, 4300 S. Oxbow Ave. No registration is required.
