READ@PolyU: Recommend a Common Book for 2019 and Win a Prize!

2019-01-15 09:12 | News

Help us kick-start READ@PolyU 2019!

Send us your Common Book nominations for a new year of reading.

What should we read next?

Now entering its eighth year, READ@PolyU rallies the whole campus to read a common book, and invites all PolyU students to participate in the Book Chat Sessions, book talks, and other fascinating activities designed to enhance the reading experience. What’s more, a free copy of the common book is gifted to full-time first-year undergraduate degree students (on a first come, first served basis) and any PolyU student who pre-registers for a Book Chat Group!

The Programme Committee will review all nominations before making the final selection.

To encourage participation, 50 copies of the selected Common Book will be given out in a lucky draw. PolyU students and staff who have submitted a nomination will be automatically enrolled into the lucky draw. Winners will be notified by email in April.

Submit your favourite book titles, along with the author’s name, to library.read.program@polyu.edu.hk by 31 Jaunary 2019 (Thursday). There is no limit to the number of book titles you can submit.

What we look for in a common book:

  • The book will be in English, preferably less than 300 pages
  • It should be engaging for the PolyU community (both Faculty and students)
  • It should be accessible, not difficult to read
  • It should appeal to students’ imagination, and should include some elements of exploration of and reflection on multi-cultural issues
  • It should preferably have been adapted for film
  • It should preferably have won international and critical acclaim
  • Ideally, the author would be available to visit PolyU
 

Submit now and win a copy of the chosen book!

Learn more by visiting the READ@PolyU website.
