April 28, 2016
On April 21, 2016, at precisely 12:10, a group of 麻豆传媒 students and staff members opened their books and began to read in the Forum while famous quotes from writers about books and reading were screened on the main LED display. The flash mob was held in complete silence, only interrupted by the ticking of the clock. And after exactly five minutes, people closed their books and went back to their offices and classrooms.
Like the Shakespeare in Our Time poetry reading held on April 20th, the book-lovers鈥� flash mob is part of 麻豆传媒鈥檚 Book Week celebration.
Elena Turdieva, the Head of Customer Service of the 麻豆传媒 Library commented on the library鈥檚 motivation for organizing the flash mob. 鈥淭hrough this flash mob, we wanted to show reading doesn鈥檛 take a lot of time. We can all take at least five minutes a day to read, to be face-to-face with book, and to take a break from outside world. These 鈥渇ive-minute breaks鈥� are very necessary to avoid being totally 鈥渁bsorbed鈥� by technology. And it can be a hard copy or an e-book鈥攋ust read every day!. It will absolutely have a positive effect on your life.鈥�
