HK Public Libraries launches "Joyful Reading at Your Neighbourhood: Library-on-Wheels" (with photos)
******************************************************************************************
     The Hong Kong Public Libraries (HKPL) of the Leisure and Cultural Services Department will launch the "Joyful Reading at Your Neighbourhood: Library-on-Wheels" Pilot Project in January 2020. A specially designed truck will visit different communities and dovetail with community events to promote reading for all in a convenient manner.
 
     Library-on-Wheels will visit locations with heavy pedestrian flows, yet are far from library facilities. About 300 books on a specific theme will be selected for readers to borrow and enjoy. Tablets, self-borrowing and returning equipment are also available, allowing readers to experience the fun of e-reading, borrow and read e-books and e-magazines anywhere and anytime, and to explore HKPL's e-databases.
 
     Library-on-Wheels will regularly organise a wide variety of activities which promote reading, including colouring, fun crafts and quizzes, as well as holding activities according to different themes, such as themed book displays and story-telling by story ambassadors to promote reading together on weekends. On designated public holidays, Library-on-Wheels will tour to places where the public gathers, bringing various reading activities suitable for children and parents and for the enjoyment of leisure reading outdoors.
 
     The trial run of Library-on-Wheels has been launched in various districts. For information on service schedules and locations, please visit www.hkpl.gov.hk/lwp or call 2751 1767.
