Library to Loan People
A new library in Surrey, B.C., will be home to a “human library,” with people on loan as living books.
The $36-million Surrey City Centre library, set to open at the end of the month, will allow users to “check out” people and pick their brains about their experiences with blindness, immigration, religion or a disability, among other things. The goal is to break down stereotypes and start discussions, said deputy chief librarian Melanie Houlden.

My wife and I run a business here in Australia that works in much the same way.
We are employed by companies to help run their businesses. We work in logistics and office administration. We use the computer programs and of course our knowledge to make things happen, by giving management a helping hand. Check out the web http://www.bellsmanagementsolutions.com.au.
