【25 April: Book Your Happiness】

The Gentlest Pop-up in the City Hub: An Unmissable "BOOK" Encounter

Is the world getting too loud? Retreat into the pages of a book and recalibrate your coordinates of joy. You will find that the elusive sense of peace and happiness has been hiding all along within the pages you flip.

The Pop-up Library @ Hong Kong Reading Week makes its grand return! This year, under the theme "Happiness Is Just Around the Book Corner", it will be transforming Festival Walk into an immersive "Reading Lab." This is more than just reading; it is a 5-sensory experiment—Hear, Speak, Read, Write, and Play—designed to redefine your relationship with books.

✨ The Reading Lab: 5-Sensory Highlights

🎶 【LISTEN】Rhythm of Happiness

Live performances by a cappella groups and bands will use melodies instead of words to sing happiness straight into your heart.

📖 【TELL】Heartwarming Stories

Follow the guidance of our Story Ambassadors and immerse yourself in the narrative as you rediscover the pure joy of listening to stories

🐶 【READ】Therapeutic Companionship

The cutest surprise is waiting for you! Trained therapy dogs and professional therapy practitioners will be there to give you a “PAWSitive” and therapeutic reading experience. Feel the power of unconditional love as you read alongside our furry friends.

🎨 【WRITE】Healing Strokes

Why not put down your phone, pick up a brush and try your hand at colourful Rainbow Calligraphy by writing down your personal “Keywords of Happiness” one stroke at a time?

🥽 【PLAY】A Book Journey Through Reality & Beyond

Put on a VR headset and watch scenes from literary classics “come to life” before your eyes. You will find the line between reality and fiction becomes instantly blurred as you are transported into the fantastical worlds created by the authors.
