2025 Onemorepage Reading Life Festival & Reading Run

This project positioned reading as the core engine of urban innovation, reshaping models of public cultural participation. Initiated by the Yunlin County Government, the project integrated 351 locations of "Onemorepage," Yunlin's dedicated reading promotion brand. It debuted the "Reading Run," where texts were printed on runners' backs, transforming a 3-kilometer urban route into flowing pages of a book and upgrading reading from a static activity into a collective, multi-sensory shared experience. The event connected the Xingchi Public Memorial Hall with the historic old town district, blending story theater, music, markets, and the "Geng Yun Tu" Main Library Vision Exhibition, turning the city into an open library for shared feeling, shared reading, and collective participation.
Additionally, the "Sustainable Slow-Sip Table" deepened the meaning of sustainability through botanical decorations and locally rooted dining. It connected local youth agri-innovators, regional brands, and cross-disciplinary communities to explore how reading can become a public force driving urban sustainability, constructing an action network of reading × sports × lifestyle aesthetics. Furthermore, the project collaborated with the South Korean Busan-based reading organization Ko-reading to curate an international book selection exhibition, broadening global perspectives. It also marked the first public unveiling of the "Geng Yun Tu" blueprint for the Yunlin County Main Library, symbolizing the transformation of scattered glimmers of light from individual "Onemorepage" corners converging into a city-defining cultural landmark. The project attracted over a thousand participants and integrated public-private resources, demonstrating a high degree of integration between cultural governance and design innovation to create a replicable and scalable sustainable reading ecosystem.
