"A Swedish library, realizing that books are not the only things being judged by their covers, will give visitors a different opportunity - to borrow a Muslim, a lesbian, or a Dane. The city library in Malmo, Sweden 's third-largest city, will let curious visitors check out living people for a 45-minute chat in a project meant to tear down prejudices about different religions, nationalities or professions. The people available to be borrowed include a journalist, a gypsy, a blind man and an animal rights activist."
