Read-Cycling Introduction

Read-Cycling, a charitable organization, was founded in 2009. It contributes to facilitating book recycling to share the happiness of reading. Read-Cycling believes that reading is fun, and sharing the joy of reading multiplies the fun. It commits to making Hong Kong a reading city and thus a culturally rich city. It helps donate books to find new homes, organizes all kinds of cultural programs, arranges author's sharing sessions, and many school activities. --Lu Xu, Longzhen Mu, Jingqi Yu (2021)

Read Cycling Final Product

Recycling Adventure

Our final product is a children's picture book about recycling. As we took an internship in PPO Library in the past month, we have a deeper understanding of the importance of recycling. Recycled stuff can contribute to people's daily life as well. Therefore, we create a story about dumped garbage and how they are reused by human society.

We use big white card papers and cut them like the shape of a recycled bin so as to attract children's attention and increase the joy of reading.

The whole text is created by our group, and we also invited a good friend of Amy Yu, Xiaoyuan, to create the pictures with Amy together. Here we appreciate Xiaoyuan's selfless help again!
