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.
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.
