A library in a small community in southern Sweden has started a novel program to promote diversity and break down stereotypes.

In addition of borrowing books on different cultures the Malmoe Library is now offering people.

The living library project is called ŒBorrow a Bias¹. It allows townsfolk to borrow any of nine different minority people. Borrowers have 45 minutes to confront the prejudices in the library¹s outdoor cafe.

³You sometimes hear people¹s prejudices and you realize that they are just uninformed,² said Ulla Brohed, the chief librarian and the person who conceived the idea.

The group includes a lesbian, a gay, an imam, a Muslim woman, a journalist, an animal rights advocate, a Dane, and a Romany or Gypsy and one other to announced later.

During the late 1790's, and until about 1814, there was a British blockade of Sweden and Norway, which led to great privation. But the Danes cut a separate deal, and prospered greatly.

It sounds like you are speaking with potatoes in your throat.
