Reading takes us everywhere. Reading biographies is seeing others’ minds; reading history is travelling in time; reading about the nature is understanding other living beings.
The 4th I·CARE Book Festival – Reading is Voyaging through Time and Space organised by I·CARE Centre for Whole-person Development is aspired to foster a culture of literacy on campus, and to connect different CUHK people through sharing of books. “Book Crossing Pavilion” and “Book Talks” are the feature activities in Book Festival.
During 11-18 March, the foyer of Sir Run Run Shaw Hall will be turned into a cosy book room, “Book Crossing Pavilion”, at which CUHK students and staff may indulge in the sea of books. Upon presentation of the CU Link, each participant is allowed to take away a maximum of 8 books for free. The schedule is appended below:
