The living library activity was held by the library to give the students an opportunity to learn about different people’s personal experiences, values and culture. The living library allows students to gain knowledge actively, through discussion rather than reading a book. Ten students and teachers from XJTLU with different life experiences shared their life experiences’ stories to the audience. The activity was held on the 18th April 2017 in G23W in the Central Building. Approximately 150 students attended the event. The activity was divided into three rounds, and each round lasted 30 minutes. This gave students the opportunity to meet different speakers that they found interesting.
