To promote sustainable development, on Earth Day (April 22, 2021) and World Book Day (April 23, 2021) the University of Taipei Library on Tian-Mu Campus hosted an event called “Earth Day vs. World Book Day: Reading and Sustainable Development.” We created a book display highlighting books about environmental protection and vegetarian diet, aiming to raise awareness of sustainable food system and environmental protection. We hoped that readers would realize the importance of reducing greenhouse gas emission as well as environmental impacts, and take action to save our planet. Library patrons who borrowed the featured books during the event were rewarded with a limited-edition reusable grocery bag. Through participating in the event, patrons not only gained knowledge of sustainable development but also contributed to reducing plastic waste.
