Sharing of Book Crossing Cases in Various Countries


There are Book Crossings all over the world. Take London, England, for example. Since the popularity of mobile phones, the need for phone booths has gradually diminished. The Brits turned idle phone booths into small libraries and placed books in them for anyone to read, not just in the UK. , Germany and the US also use idle phone booths as free libraries.

Experience


This was my first experience with Book Crossing. When I first passed the Book Crossing base, I was very strange and curious. When I understood the meaning behind it, I found it very educational and had to be followed through and enforced vigorously. For promotion, I believe most of them are like me. There are a lot of books at home, all of which have been around for a long time. They are afraid to waste them. Waste, how to use the idle books on hand more effectively, book bleaching is a good choice.

In fact, I have been to many book floating bases in Taiwan, including railway stations, cultural bureaus, libraries, historical sites, etc. Unfortunately, most Taiwanese are very unfamiliar with the "Book Crossing" culture and are used to reading books from the library. I hope that Taiwan will become a country that loves reading like Germany, so that beautiful words can be passed on.
