BLIND DATE WITH A BOOK
DON'T JUDGE BY ITS COVER
Choose your books
The event is based on the "Blind date with a book" concept: a book that is wrapped in paper, tagged with clues and small descriptions of the book inside. The concept aims to promote books that did not receive the right publicity and to stop readers from "judging a book by its cover". Because we want to promote recycled reading, all our books are second-hand.
BOOK EXCHANGE
RECYCLE YOUR BOOKS
Encourage recycling reading
Why not let others enjoy the books you've already enjoyed? Bring the books you read and exchange them for some new ones, helping the environment at the same time.
INTERACT

Exchange ideas, views and opinions with others
Meet some like-minded people and discuss your favourite books and shar your views and ideas.
