What is the Human Library?
The Human Library is an organization that began in Denmark in 2000 and now has chapters [called Depots] all over the world. In a Human Library, real people are “Books” on loan to Readers, giving Readers the opportunity to listen to their stories first-hand.
Human Library NYC public events break down social barriers by providing a safe platform for individuals to challenge their own stereotypes and prejudices.

A Book is a volunteer who represents a stigmatized group, willing to share their story, and help challenge what is being shared and understood about their topic.

| 2:00 PM - 4:00 PM | CONCERT - "Holiday Pops" with the Lehman College and Community Band
The Lehman College & Community Band will celebrate the holiday season with “Holiday Pops,” a concert featuring a mix of holiday music and classics for wind band.
Led by Professor Alan Hollander of the Music Department, the ensemble will perform a wide range of works, including perennial holiday favorites Christmas Festival and Sleigh Ride by Leroy Anderson, another sleigh ride, “Troika” from the Lieutenant Kije Suite by Prokofiev, and a medley of Hanukah tunes entitled Festive Sounds of Hanukah.
Also featured will be a slice of Americana: Shuffleton’s Barbershop by Hayato Hirose inspired by the eponymous Norman Rockwell painting, the timeless Greensleeves arranged by prolific American composer Alfred Reed, “The Nativity” from Norman Dello Joio’s Scenes from the Louvre, and Victor Herbert’s ever popular March of the Wooden Soldiers.
Rounding out the program will be a humorous medley by David Lovrien entitled Minor Alterations: Christmas Through the Looking Glass, a game of musical hide-and-seek for the audience, in which familiar Christmas carols are transposed from major to minor keys then disguised and layered to create something new and inventive. | Speech and Theatre Building - (Lovinger Theatre) |
