"When a crane is lined up in the clear sky, it leads the poetry to the blue sky."
Although the last festival of autumn, frost has come, but Beijing's "autumn blue" is still continuing.
Frost falls, which is the transitional season from autumn to winter.
Just after the "Eleventh" long holiday, it was another caught off guard by the epidemic recurrence.
At 5 p.m. on October 22, the library strictly implemented the prevention and control requirements and suspended all offline reader activities.
The book tour, which was scheduled to be held on Saturday 23 October at Sisyphus Bookstore (Guorui City Store), was forced to switch to online book selection.
The librarian quickly contacted the 30 readers who had signed up for the event one by one by telephone.
Some readers, because of working hours, it is not convenient to answer the phone, the librarian will wait until the end of the work period, and then call to confirm, in order to ensure that every reader can receive the activity change information in time.
Librarians will also participate in the online book selection of readers, please enter the reader exchange group. Publish the book selection rules and book selection URL in the group at the first time.
Because it is a group of people who have been entering the group one after another until more than 10 o'clock in the evening of the 22nd, there are still readers to consult, and the staff has always stuck to their posts, so that they can answer questions and solve the confusion of readers in a timely manner.
Although the book tour on the 17th stop of 2020 was selected at the Dongzhi store of Sisyphus Bookstore, most of the readers who signed up for this event participated for the first time. To this end, the librarian deliberately sent photos of the store before the event to the group, so that readers who could not attend the scene were full of happiness.
In addition to the exquisite best-selling books in the classification of professionals, there is also a very clearly divided adult reading area and a children's reading area, and the ceiling design is also very special, and the famous sayings and aphorisms with poetry and philosophy can be seen on the head.
"Only by reading the weight of life can we look down on the lightness of time."
"The flames on the earth are worthy of the fragrance of heaven, and dreams are more urgent than days."
Some people say that life is a pure flame, we rely on the invisible sun in our hearts to exist, others say that life is a string of happy times, we are not only to survive for the sake of survival, reading is not only enlightening, but also makes people awaken. Reading makes us live every day happily, happily and fulfillingly.
For those who love to read, bookstores are places where they can find a sense of belonging in addition to home.
Founded in 1993, Sisyphus Bookstore is one of the forerunners and representative brands of private bookstores in China.
The name "Sisyphus" comes from ancient Greek mythology!
There is a king "Sisyphus" who has been pushing the stone up the mountain, which means "keep going up". With perseverance and sacrifice, I hope to become a Sisyphus in the book industry or the cultural industry.
For a long time, the bookstore has adhered to the value concept of "participating in the formation of local spiritual life", developed chain bookstores, promoted the public's boutique reading, and is now a chain cultural enterprise with 250 book retail stores and three million active members.
Although the offline activities have been changed to online, the discussion among readers in the WeChat group is still very warm.
"It's a pity, I heard that this event, in addition to the Sisyphus Bookstore's Guorui City store on-site selection of books, can also participate in the literary knowledge quiz, the correct answer to the readers also have prizes." 」
"Yes, yes, I also heard about it, this epidemic can't be done, let's still listen to the staff's arrangement."
"Rest assured, after we resume offline activities, we will make up for this prize Q&A event," the librarian comforted in the group.
"It's okay, it's okay, we just talk about it casually, this is already a lot of trouble for you, this is all off-duty time, you are still working here, I'm really sorry." I have a small suggestion, every time we participate in our book selection activities, read a lot of good books, especially want to share the experience of reading, can you organize it, contribute to the library to write a book review, organize a reader symposium, ah, we also do something for you? ”
Many old readers who participated in the activity, seeing that the librarians were too busy, took the initiative to reply to the questions of new readers in the group.
Online book selection is more related to the energy of librarians than on-site book selection, librarians should always pay attention to the information of readers' book selection in the WeChat group, but also enter each reader's selected book into the collection system query, such as the reader's selected book has more than 5 books, but also need to contact the reader to exchange the selected book, often need to repeat many times.
However, it only took a day and a half for the librarian to complete the reader's book selection registration, change, and final confirmation, and forwarded the reader's selected book list to the bookstore, asking them to expedite delivery.
The inventory of the bookstore changes from day to day, so some books are out of stock or out of stock.
To this end, librarians search through websites such as JD.com and do their best to help readers find all the books. After the books are equipped, the librarians will also classify, catalog, and enter the data of the books, assign commemorative tickets for the activities to the readers, pack them and send them to the Lending Department, and wait for the readers participating in the activities to make an appointment to borrow.
24 readers selected 48 books, worth more than 2,000 yuan. Due to the rapid updating of books in Sisyphus Bookstore and the unique perspective of book selection, nearly half of the readers choose books that are not in many library collections.
Several readers gave up participating because they could not choose books online, but they still got commemorative votes for the event.
On the front of the commemorative ticket for the 18th stop of the Book Tour is the Sisyphus Bookstore pattern, which is fashionable and elegant; on the other side is the chrysanthemum pattern, with the Tang Dynasty poet Yuan Shu's "Chrysanthemum" verse:
"It's not that the flowers prefer chrysanthemums, but this flower is even more flowerless."
Also on the ticket were the powerful autographs of Mr. Deng Youmei, a 90-year-old honorary vice chairman of the China Writers Association and a famous writer ----.
The 19th stop of the "Journey to the East of the Forbidden City" was selected on Saturday afternoon, November 6, at the Drama Bookstore in the People's Art Theatre, located in the Capital Theater, No. 22 Wangfujing Street, Dongcheng District, Beijing.
Readers can register through the library's WeChat public account, and the number of students is 30. If because
The epidemic situation has turned into an online event, and the library will notify you in a timely manner.
