The Amazing Journeys of Writers

When we read, we form a relationship with a book and let it influence us. Books shed light on our lives by unleashing our creativity and expanding our imagination.

This year’s talk series will invite speakers who have affluent experience in reading and writing. They will conduct sharing sessions at libraries throughout the city and share intriguing stories throughout their lives which are surrounded by the scent of books and pass down Hong Kong’s unique culture.
