Reading Garden
Imagine walking into a library and finding yourself in the midst of a lush garden- where every book you read helps it grow. This is the essence of our "Reading Garden" project. In the heart of the children's section, we've created an interactive display where each child can see their garden flourish through reading and participation. When a child finishes a book, a flower blooms, and the flowers are color-coded, red for literature, yellow for social sciences, and blue for nature. Completing a volunteer activity grows a patch of grass, and joining a class or event causes a sapling to sprout, growing into a tree. With each achievement, the child's garden becomes more vibrant, offering a visual celebration of their progress. Not only does this create a tangible sense of accomplishment, but it also strengthens the bond between the child and the library. Children can view their gardens online and share their growth with friends and family, inspiring others to visit and grow their own.

Reading Garden
Since its launch in January 2024, over 1.5 million readers have visited their "Reading Garden," representing 41.7% of all library visitors. While the focus has been on children and teenagers, we encourage readers of all ages to join in. We want parents to participate by creating friendly "competition" with their children, recommending books, discussing how to improve their gardens, and bonding over shared reading experiences. Looking ahead, we hope the "Reading Garden" will become a platform for recording life's milestones. Imagine, when we grow older and our children are adults, we can invite them to revisit our garden, seeing what their father studied in his twenties and what books he read in his forties. They might find that both father and son shared a love for guitar and both read Nietzsche. Over time, the flourishing garden becomes a reading bank, storing a lifetime of knowledge and experience, where the library becomes not just part of life, but a part of our identity.

To evaluate the success of the "Reading Garden" project, we analyzed data from January 30 to December 31, 2024, focusing on five key areas: project engagement, reader registrations, event participation, library visits, and media coverage. The data shows that the "Reading Garden" project exceeded its goals and was widely embraced by readers, highlighting its success and impact on the community.
