Zelda Marshall takes part in CBC’s ‘Human Library’

Entertainer, philanthropist and Ottawa drag grandmother Zelda Marshall is taking part in CBC’s Human Library project Saturday, Jan 26.

The project traces its roots to Denmark, where a group of students staged the first human library in an attempt to dispel widely held stereotypes. Interested “readers” can “check out” human books for 20 minutes at a time and engage in one-on-one conversations.

Marshall will appear at the Kanata-Hazeldean branch of the Ottawa Public Library, located at 50 Castlefrank Dr.

For a full list of locations and “books,” visit the OPL site.
