Amidst the ups and downs of life, books are always here for us. Reading brings us more than knowledge. It also brings us joy with a healing power, relieving us of stress and anxiety. The third Hong Kong Library Festival is thus themed “Joyful Reading.Libraries for You”. Echoing the theme, this edition of Take a Break – eReading Corner has selected Chinese e-books covering various topics such as mood relief, building skills for slashers, financial and business, leisure, art and culture.
During the campaign, there will be no borrowing limit for the 30 Chinese e-books selected each month. You can borrow them free of charge without making a reservation. The selected e-books will not occupy the borrowing limit of four e-books per reader. You may read the e-books through a web browser or the HyRead 3 mobile app.
