The 6th I·CARE Book Festival Ends with Great Success

"The 6th I·CARE Book Festival" ("The Book Festival") had the theme of "Reading Together" and featured a series of activities which aimed at encouraging students to enjoy the pleasure of reading on campus.

The Book Crossing Pavilion, a signature event of the Festival, received overwhelming responses from the CUHK community and various parties, resulting in over 25,000 donated second-hand books. The Book Crossing Pavilion started on 12 March and lasted until 27 March, with over three thousand students and staff participating and over 20,000 books were distributed. The participants have found their beloved books and enjoyed the experience tremendously.

The "Buddy of University Lecture on Civility" (ULC Buddy) Programme was launched for the first time in this academic year. The ULC Buddy curated a small-scale exhibition on Hong Kong typography, called Word Art: Wandering around Chinese Fonts and the Font Sticker Workshop. Special thanks to Mr. Lee Kin-Ming for lending a replica of manuscript for the Lee Hon Kong Ka font, allowing participants to appreciate the beauty of this unique typeface.

The success of this Book Festival is attributed to the great support of alumni, teachers, and staff from various departments, as well as the participation of ULC Buddy and student helpers. We appreciate everyone's dedication and support, and look forward to meeting everyone again in next Book Festival.
