Luwang, April 24 (Reporter Li Ying, intern Wei Xinyue) "From reading books to writing books, from memorizing ancient texts to writing history, and then to teaching writing classes, my life has always been closely linked to words. I enjoy this kind of reading and writing life, through words, I have established a connection with the world, and through words, I have also traveled through thousands of rivers and mountains. With the affectionate narration of Zheng Liangen, a scholar and writer of literature and history, in the conference room of Baiqiao Town Central Primary School, a unique reading promotion activity kicked off.
Cultivating the reading habits of rural children can effectively contribute to the revitalization of rural culture and rural education. On the afternoon of April 23, the "Reading Fragrance Moistens the Countryside, Reading Helps Growth" - Jinan Library Reading Promotion into the Countryside was held as scheduled in the Central Primary School of Baiqiao Town, Shanghe County, Jinan City. This activity is a landing measure for Jinan Library to implement the Implementation Plan of the Organization Department of the Jinan Municipal Committee of the Communist Party of China and the Jinan Municipal Bureau of Culture and Tourism on Implementing the "Rural Revitalization Cultural Consultant" Mechanism to Help Promote Party Building and Promote Rural Revitalization, aiming to give full play to the role of public libraries in the main position of the national reading promotion service system, and to light up the countryside with books with a diversified cultural assistance model, so that reading becomes a fashion, and further stimulate the new vitality of rural revitalization in the new era. More than 300 people attended the event, including relevant leaders and guests of Jinan Library, Jinan Publishing House, Shanghe County Baiqiao Town Government, Shanghe County Culture and Tourism Bureau, Shanghe County Library, Shanghe County Xinhua Bookstore and other main organizers, as well as representatives of teachers and students of Baiqiao Town Central Primary School.
At the event, the "Scholarly Troupe" composed of writers, librarians, and editors of publishing houses jointly delivered a feast of knowledge to the children in the countryside. Zheng Liangen, a writer who is the creator of books, shared his "reading dream" and "writer's dream" with the title of "The Thousands of Rivers and Mountains of Words: My Reading and Writing Life", and introduced the "Three-Self" calligraphy method to inspire students to love reading and pursue their dreams.
Li Shenghong, director of the editorial department of Jinan Publishing House, as a senior editor, introduced "how a book is born" to the students. In order to ensure the smooth publication and distribution of books, editors need to check from planning and selecting topics, screening manuscripts to careful editing, from facts, details to arguments, and dig deep into the potential of book works with a keen eye and unique aesthetics, so as to make them more in line with the needs and expectations of readers.
Cao Yi, Cultural Consultant of Rural Revitalization of Jinan Library, took the Library Service Publicity Week as an opportunity to introduce the relevant services of Jinan Library, so that students could have an in-depth understanding of the profession of librarian. As the guardians and navigators of books, librarians are responsible for the library's rich collection resources to ensure that these valuable documents are properly preserved and used reasonably. Through video playback and on-site interaction, students are guided and encouraged to enrich their knowledge and broaden their horizons through reading, so that every day becomes a reading day.
Liu Yu, Secretary of the Discipline Inspection Committee of Jinan Library, and Li Shenghong, Director of the Editorial Department of Jinan Publishing House, donated books to the students, encouraging them to read more and read good books, consciously develop a good habit of reading, and strive to become pillars of the country.
In the next step, Jinan Library will actively mobilize cultural talents and cultural workers to continue to go deep into grassroots villages, sort out the list of cultural assistance, solidly carry out the work of "Rural Revitalization Cultural Consultant", send down-to-earth reading promotion activities to the people, open up the "last mile" of rural public cultural services, and let the seeds of reading take root and sprout in the rural land.
