One Month One Book

Book List

How long has it been since you slowed down and read a book with your whole heart? In our fast-paced world of notifications and endless scrolling, reading is not a luxury but a lifeline – one that nourishes the soul. It allows you to walk in others’ shoes, fostering empathy and deepening your capacity for kindness. At the same time, reading is a conversation with great minds across time, expanding your perspective and equipping you to navigate life’s challenges. It’s a mindful escape from stress, bringing you into the present moment. So pick up a book – even a few pages can help you rediscover forgotten parts of yourself and see the world as brighter and more beautiful.

That’s why we invite you to join “One Month One Book · 月读一本书.” This initiative is designed to encourage you to complete one book each month, with a cumulative system that rewards your reading journey. The library will provide incentives to support and celebrate your progress. We will then compile everyone’s contributions into a monthly digest of our collective reading journey, designed to spark inspiration and connect our community through stories.

How to Participate:

This is also our warm invitation to begin your October reading journey with us. We’ll send a reminder at the beginning of each month and collect your achievements at the end. Share your thoughts, book reviews, or your favorite quotes – whether it’s a single line or a full passage – through the Qualtrics form. All languages are welcome.
