National Library of China holds series of events to encourage reading
The
National Library of China and industry professionals launched a series of
events on April 23 to mark World Book and Copyright Day and promote reading
culture.
Ten
winners of the 14th Wenjin Book Award were also announced at the ceremony that
day.
The
national-level comprehensive book award aims to recommend books to readers to
encourage reading. Winners included social science books, science books and
children’s books. Works by international authors translated into Chinese were also
ranked among the winners, such as The World as I See It by Albert Einstein, A
Beautiful Question: Finding Nature's Deep Design by Frank Wilczek and We Have
No Idea: A Guide to the Unknown Universe by Jorge Cham and Daniel Whiteson.
Meanwhile,
an exhibition of classic Chinese books kicked off at the National Museum of
Classic Books, which is housed in the library. Works on display include three
rare works from the Song Dynasty (960-1279). The rare works are only on display
for a month, while the exhibition closes at a later date.
