4.23” Read Together for Half an Hour”

On the Hong Kong Reading for All Day on April 23, reading locations were set up at selected LCSD venues, public libraries, community libraries, higher education institutions, as well as primary and secondary schools for the "Read Together for Half an Hour" event. The HKPL and the Hans Andersen Club also co-organised "Joyful Family Reading Carnival" at the East Kowloon Cultural Centre (EKCC). Artiste Poon Fong-fong and authors of children's picture books, Amy Chai and Kathy Chan, shared the joy of reading stories with children. There were interactive workshops and a reading area set up at the EKCC. Participants shared stories after reading a story book through drawing and transformed their pictures into animations with augmented reality technology to project onto a video wall.
