Together with Youth Square, Youth Square Book Crossing Festival marks its 10th year with the theme of ‘Revive the Joy of Reading’, and launches ‘Youth Square Online Reading Week’ to promote the reading culture and share the joy of reading with youth through interactive book sharing sessions.
‘Human Library’
‘Human Library’ will be the first session to kick off the ‘Youth Square Online Reading Week’. From 5 to 9 October, we have invited four young post-90s and post-00s writers and a local publisher of hand-bound mini books to share their personal selection of must-read books and the process of becoming writers. Guest speakers include Ms Leung Lee Chi, a novelist who obtained various literary awards, Ms Eva Wong, a TV host of RTHK’s reading programme, Ms Carmen Lau, a writer and illustrator, Mr Lo Wai Lok, a budding writer and Ms Wong Tin Ying (“Tiana”), a local publisher of hand-bound mini books and founder of ‘eggwich’.
Public are welcome to check out videos of ‘Human Library’ on Youth Square YouTube, Facebook and Instagram starting from 5 October.
‘Writers Talk’
‘Writers Talk’, a special highlight of ‘Youth Square Online Reading Week’, will also be held from 10 to 11 October. We are thrilled to have two heavy-weighted guests to participate in ‘Writers Talk’ this time, they are Dr Benjamin Au Yeung (“Ben Sir”), a Hong Kong Cantonese linguist and Mr Lok Chi Hou (“Sixtycents“), the Founder and CEO of Manner Culture Limited who will share their reading experience in a relaxed way through webinar.
