In the post-pandemic era, we must embrace a “new lifestyle of epidemic prevention.” Over the past year, everyone in Taiwan has also deeply felt the impact of droughts, water shortages, and extreme heat. It is therefore essential to initiate a “new sustainable lifestyle” to safeguard both ourselves and our environment.
The 2021 Library Week, themed "Book" a Better Future! Proposals for a Sustainable New Life, will run from November 29 to December 3, offering a series of interactive experiences:
“Global Perspective – SDGs 101” will be held in the main lobby of the Chengchi Library, guiding participants to better understand the United Nations 2030 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and encouraging daily actions for our shared future.
“Local Care – Preserving the Most Beautiful Scenery in Our Hearts” uses books and films—via themed book fairs, picture book exhibitions, and eco-documentary screenings—to showcase the beauty of Formosa and rekindle our connection with nature.
“Urban Regeneration – Which City Would You Choose: Stories You May Not Know” invites a local storyteller who has traveled to townships and villages across Taiwan to uncover forgotten cultural histories, sharing how he “steals” and retells the stories of Taiwan’s cities.
“Hands-On Experience – Crafting Tea-Scented Soaps” is a workshop led by a handmade soap artisan, guiding participants in crafting tea-based soap products. Through knowledge, aroma, and creation, the activity aims to strengthen mental and physical resilience in everyday life.
“Innovative Design – Game for Future” uses board games to help participants imagine what the world might look like in 2030. Each session offers a meaningful and insightful life experience through strategic play.
