“Waking Up the Taste Buds” as reading and beauty meet again. The public libraries of the Cultural Affairs Bureau (IC) will continue the “Waking Up the Taste Buds” Book Fair 2021. The readers’ sense of reading is stimulated through reading the books from different authors, and the sentences and quotes of the weekly spirit key. This time “Waking Up the Taste Buds II — Promotion of Themed Book Collections in Public Libraries” is held in the Taipa Library, the Mong Ha Library, the Sir Robert Ho Tung Library, the Ilha Verde Library and other public libraries until June 30, 2023. Through the event, readers can take a little break in the journey of the pursuit of a good life and appreciate the little joys around them, thereby looking at every colorful landscape in life from reading.
