What is Rolling Books
什麼是滾動的書

Rolling,閱讀的永恆體驗,滾動中⋯⋯

Rolling Books是推廣閱讀體驗的社會企業。我們透過靈活貼地的流動概念書車,將閱讀推廣的有趣點子,駛進小學校園並關愛社區。透過舉辦各式活動把閱讀樂趣轉化成真摰體驗,讓小朋友建立終生的閱讀習慣。我們也通過與各類型機構合作試驗創新的閱讀項目,推廣可持續發展的知識,擴大閱讀推廣的影響力,重新建造閱讀體驗的新形態。我們深信,閱讀除了為獲取知識、向上流動外,也能讓讀者學習面對獨處與提升抗逆力。

為兒童提供平等的自主閱讀機會亦是我們的目標之一,相關工作包括︰收集童書轉贈至基層家庭手中,為少數族裔兒童提供中文學習支援,甚至出版設有點字及口述影像的多感官繪本等。我們將繼續致力以不同的切入點,努力推動閱讀平等。

Rolling Books is a social enterprise to promote reading experience. With the concept of mobile pop-up libraries and events, we are bringing interactive and engaging reading activities to schools and caring communities, aiming to inspire children to seek their lifelong companionship with books. We partner with a diversity of organisations for innovation projects to promote reading accessibility and sustainable knowledge, aiming to connect a new generation of readers in the challenging digital age.

感謝No Pasa Nada對Rolling Books進行了深度訪談,對Rolling Books的面貌進行了全方位多角度的呈現。

Rolling Books如何從以閱讀為載體的創新實驗中孵化? 我們何以與閱讀相關,又不僅僅只與閱讀相關? 我們因何走上社會創新的路途? 我們希望透過閱讀為基層及少數族裔孩童帶來怎樣的幫助? 我們在疫情中又有怎樣的思考及應對措施?在未來,Rolling Books又將如何迎接新的挑戰,帶來怎樣的閱讀新趨勢呢?

Rolling Books誠邀大家與我們及No Pasa Nada一起回顧滾動路途上的點滴,一同展望未來,期待更多更有能量的滾動。

Rolling Books在No Pasa Nada的詳細訪談紀錄(十篇):

Rolling Books is a social enterprise based in Hong Kong that aims to promote the reading experience. They simultaneously work with social issues including poverty alleviation of minority groups, marine pollution, and women’s empowerment. 

James ran a bookstore 15 years ago, when it was not common in Hong Kong to have social activities within bookstores.

After leaving his bookstore, James never left reading aside. He organized running book clubs in which members would run together, and then read.

The NGO and the social enterprise work differently in terms of their business model. James chose the social enterprise and discusses Rolling Books’ income sources.

Within NGOs, it may be difficult to choose a picture book if they want to convey specific agendas. As a social enterprise, Rolling Books doesn’t face this limitation.

Reading in Hong Kong is not often thought as particularly social. James aims to make reading a trendy expereince.

Ethnic minorities children are susceptible to intergenerational poverty in Hong Kong, because the education system prioritzes Chinese [Cantonese].

Among low-income families, parents have less time with their children and children are more likely to be exposed to the digital world.

During the break from reading activities, Rolling Books has been spending more time with the ethnic minority families and have identified other needs the families may have.

Protests that began since last June in 2019 have changed the dynamics of storytelling. As a father himself, James must also think about these issues for his son.
