月前「書送快樂」的 Cynthia 應香港南區扶輪社之邀,於午餐會上分享推動綠色閱讀的工作與抱負。與會朋友對此甚感興趣,並決定進一步瞭解這個超微型民間慈善團體的日常運作。
八月下旬,香港南區扶輪社會員親訪「書送快樂」位於新蒲崗的書倉「蒲書館」,書倉約有一半面積堆滿由各區捐贈者送出的中英文書籍,另一半則是企理整齊的書架與沙發,是愛書人可以悠然慢讀之所。
這個「一身二用」的空間,大家都覺得很不錯。扶輪社朋友更馬上提出一些減輕庫存壓力的想法,讓書籍流轉更快,令書倉有限空間發揮更大作用。
到訪會員逗留了一個上午,並代表香港南區扶輪社致送捐款,以及和一同前來的家庭成員選購了不少好書。
「書送快樂」在此衷心致謝!

Read-Cycling wishes to extend our sincere gratitude to the Rotary Club of Hong Kong South for their kind gift in support of our mission and work. We will use it wisely.
Their members also paid a visit to our warehouse, aka PPO Library in August with a view to understand more about our operation and needs. They were impressed by the tremendous amount of books in storage and the cosy reading area we set aside within the warehouse. Some thoughts were exchanged almost immediately on finding more channels for book re-donation.
It was such a rewarding morning. During the visit, the Rotarians and their family members also bought books after browsing through the 10,000 titles displayed on the shelves.
Thank you very much again!
