Read-cycling
Read-cycling in PPO Library
Founded in 2009, Read-cycling is one of very few charities in Hong Kong dedicated to books and book lovers. PPO Library is located at San Po Kong, which aims to love and share books with book lovers throughout the community. Used books were given a second life through various activities with organisations, schools, corporations, and individuals. The Read-cycling Experience Learning Team was mainly focused on book selection plans with schools, book categorisation, and social media promotion. We also came out with creative ideas for the upcoming event in PPO Library at the end of November.
A Treasury for Teachers
The Read-cycling team hopes to create a treasury for prospective teachers to prepare for future teaching resource. We learnt how to be a Caring Facilitator, Collaborator, Creative-thinker, Lifelong Learner during the process.
We held the Online Book Fairs for TCSL classmates, and had opportunities to present the Booklist design and Library floorplan design for PPO Library. Meanwhile, PPO Library will have our Primary Booklist Display Area in the long term.
The Book sharing session was a great experience to share happiness with students through read-cycling, and to enhance the interaction for prospective teachers, students, and parents.

Book selection plan for STEM, inspired by teachers from Y.C.H.C.T.H.W. Primary school, from which we could motivate students to read through Project Based Learning.
Book selection plan for Chinese as a second language students in CNEC Ta Tung School, where teachers could share more ideas with students according to their Chinese ability.

Online Book Fair
The online book fair is a creative way to promote PPO towards a wider community. The event lasted for 1 hour and books were sold at 30% of original price. 11 books were sold on the day and those were recommended to motivate students' interest and to encourage them to learn how the world works. The sales revenue will help PPO provide more support to people in need. Thanks to all guests who came on 14 Oct to support the online book fair.
Online Live Broadcasting
The live broadcasting is another way to relate IB teaching to PPO books. We picked 12 books for primary age students, each grade receiving 2 based on students' Chinese background. 5 books were sold and it helped us to gain more experience about choosing books for IB teaching. We believe online sale is another way to promote PPO and help teachers in IB PYP framework.
