During the long winter break, don’t forget to keep up your reading and learning habits! With “VIBE” as its core concept, the University Library is holding an online themed e-book exhibition “V.I.B.E. – Read the Vibe.” This exhibition features a diverse selection of e-book collections, allowing readers to enjoy unrestricted access to reading anytime and anywhere throughout the winter break. The online exhibition invites you to explore various reading atmospheres and mindsets based on your current emotions and needs. A scenario-based mini quiz is also provided to help you quickly find a reading list that best matches “this moment.” 🔮 V – Visionary | See the Future Stand on the crest of knowledge rather than being swept away by the waves. Selected themes include technology, AI, Web3, and social change, perfect for those curious about the world’s direction and eager to peek into the future. 🌿 I – Inner Peace | Serenity Within Life is noisy—let’s press the mute button first. From healing essays, self-care, mind-body-spirit topics, to slow-living guides, find your rhythm amidst the chaos—ideal for moments when you need gentle care. 🔥 B – Bold & Brave | Courage to Act For those thinking, “I know I need to change, but I’m a little scared.” Featuring personal growth, goal achievement, career development, and stories of courage, perfect for preparing to tell the new year: “Okay, let’s do this.” 💭 E – Escape & Experience | Immersive Adventure Reality offline, stories online. Dive into novels, adventure, fantasy, or romance—legally disappear for a few hours, travel, adventure, and be reborn through the power of words.
