In this hilarious and fast-paced time, people are busy talking and expressing themselves and obsessed with being heard and seen until they are discovered and noticed. But reading and writing happen mostly in a small and quiet corner free of worldly disturbance. Only when you are buried in a book or you produce a string of words will you be able to slow down and find your own beat; only when you stop talking and thinking will you truly open your eyes, ears and heart to listen to both your voices and those of others, and to the sound of the fauna and flora as well as the earth in the wild, at which time you learn the secret behind the reality; only when you read and write will you be able to open a profound dialogue between yourself and the world.
This exciting quiz competition will, increase participants’ interests in libraries and impart extensive knowledge of library services to them, which is not only helpful to their work, but also enhances their sense of belonging to the library.
