Festival Walk, Kowloon Tong｜The Gentlest Pop-up in the City Hub: An Unmissable "BOOK" Encounter

Description

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.

FREE (Walk-ins are welcome!)
