Legal clinic hosting National Housing Day event
'Living Library' event to be held at Guelph downtown library
GUELPH – The Legal Clinic of Guelph and Wellington County is hosting its third annual National Housing Day event next week in collaboration with the Guelph Public Library.
Legal clinic officials encourage the public to attend the "inspiring and interactive Living Library" on Nov. 17 from 5:30 to 7:30pm at the downtown branch of the Guelph Public Library (100 Norfolk St.).
"Check out human 'books' to hear powerful real-life stories across our custom library catalog," officials stated in a press release.
They say attendees can peruse a number of categories, including:
- non-Fiction and biography: Hear personal journeys about going from homelessness to housed;
- self-help and law: borrow a local lawyer to learn the essentials of Landlord and Tenant Board basics and tenant rights;
- DIY and practical guides: pick up green-thumb tips for growing your own food in small spaces, and on balconies; and
- children's: enjoy story time exploring concepts of home, complete with a hands-on "build your dream home" activity section for kids.
