The Alive Library aims to create a dialogue around healthcare for diverse patients. Instead of a paper or audio book, books in the Alive Library are humans who interact with readers to have uncommon conversations that challenge stereotypes and prejudices through respectful dialogue. Each of us bring to the table a lived experience that others may not understand or have misconceptions about. Readers and books are invited gain cognitive empathy while learning of health disparities, unrecognized implicit biases, and through debunking stereotypes.
