【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.
