Program Description

Event Details

Do you want to get to know the people in your community better? We have gathered human "books" to be checked out by our "readers" for 20 minute conversations. Readers will have the opportunity to talk to people in the community who are willing to share some of their life experiences that have been influenced by their occupation, their ethnicity, their religion/ideology, their social status, or their immigration status.

Sign-up is highly suggested in order to reserve your time, but you may sign-up on the day of the program if there are spaces available. 

The "books" that are available are:

  • Someone who has traveled extensively
  • An immigrant
  • A religious convert
  • A homeschooler
  • A local author
  • A member of the LGBTQIA+ community
  • Someone who has served in the military 

Time slots are available between 2 and 4 pm.

To register, please email CozbyPrograms@coppelltx.gov with your choice of book.
