Description

Hong Kong has seen a surge in the number of independent bookstores nowadays. However, due to exorbitant rent prices in the city, these stores often have to choose remote locations to save on costs. They are frequently overlooked by the general public, who tend to opt for more conveniently located chain bookstores. This exacerbates the operational difficulties faced by independent bookstores.

"KEEP ON INDIE" is a pop-up event that has partnered with eight independent bookstores in Sham Shui Po. This event provides an opportunity for the public to explore the diverse selection of books offered by independent bookstores and interact with their owners. It raises awareness of the significance and spirit of independent bookstores, encourages people to support them, and strengthens the community within each bookstore. “KEEP ON INDIE” connects book lovers with one another and fosters a sense of camaraderie within the book-selling and book-loving community.
