Content of Our Marketing:
Little Paradise Human Library is a project hosted by the library of Wuhan
University and coordinated by Yuewei Literature Society, a student club in the
campus. We strive to find individuals who have his or her own extraordinary
experiences and present them as “books”, which are worth our reading, in ways of
interviewing them as our guest talkers, “encoding” them with call numbers and
making posters to introduce them to readers. And our philosophy is, and has always
been, that everybody is a book and has his or her story that deserves reading. We’ve
been working on building a platform that enables readers to communicate with these
human books in an equal, reciprocal manner and to this day, our activity has been held
25 times during which 1783 readers in total have joined us in various ways, including
indoor-outdoor gaming and interacting online. Some of our activities are held at
schools for the blind as a part of our public-serving program and we donated for
building reading rooms in poor mountainous regions to bring hope to children who
are in dire need of of love and knowledge.

Target Groups: Our off-line activities are targeted on students of Wuhan University,
who make up the majority of our readers, students from other universities of central
China and all those who may be interested, while our online shows are for readers

barriers and makes cross-regional communication a reality. Take one of our most
recent shows for instance, readers engaged in our interaction are from different parts
of the country, including foreign participators from the University of Memphis and
Nigeria.

e、 您的项目形象或标志
微天堂的 LOGO
微天堂真人图书馆 LOGO，图案是一个跃起的小人托起萌芽的形象，萌芽以书页为设计
元素，小人与流云的蓝色线条又组成了第二个萌芽。象征着书籍给青年以飞翔的力量，青年
亦给予书籍以发展的空间。文字部分，上部分为花体微天堂英文名字 ，下边“微天堂”汉字。
博尔赫斯曾说过：“如果世间有天堂，那一定是图书馆的模样。” 因此我们给真人图书馆取名

3. “微天堂”。与书相伴的我们力图打造一个关于真人图书的小小世界，让那一束束来自心灵的
光芒，因为相聚而辉映出美丽的彩虹，照亮彼此的思想。
The logo of Little Paradise (little paradise), bearing the image of a little man
holding up green buds, symbolizes that books empower teenagers to soar up high into
a sky of hope and the realm of thoughts, and that teenagers in return create space of
development for books. Below is written the name of Little Paradise in fine, round
hand: Little Paradise, along with its Chinese version. “If there is an actual heaven in
this mortal world,” said Jorge Luis Borges, “then it must be a library.” We strive to
create a little world of Human Books and a realm of noble ideas where the gleam of
wisdom enlightens people’s thoughts.
2、 项目信息
a、 请详细说明您的营销项目的目标
1.读者参加完活动，都能收获友谊和更好的自己
我们选择各有特色的真人图书，让读者来与他们自由对话。无论是著作等身的学者，还
是在其专业里有所建树的牛人，读者都能与之进行平等的交流，因为距离的拉近，自信心
也随之增强；
三年多的时间，我们营造了真人图书馆的大家庭，读者和真人图书馆一起成长，有些
成为了朋友，有些成为了真人图书馆的导读，有些更成为了我们的真人图书。
1. Enabling each reader to gain friendship and to become a better individual
We choose the human books as our guests, each of them having his or her own
characteristics, with whom our reader can have some free conversation. Scholars,
prolific authors, entrepreneurs, and all sorts of notable figures are on our invitation list
and our readers have equal opportunities to communicate with them. The readers’
confidence may as well get boosted after a face-to-face communication.
In the past three years we have built this family together. Readers have grown
intellectually with the human books. Some of our readers befriended one another;
some became guides of reading; and some, after three years, became new human
books.
2.为图书馆注入活力，丰富读者对图书馆的认知，提高图书馆影响力。
图书馆不只是一座充满各种资源冷冰冰的建筑，因为读者的参与和互动，这座建筑才
会充满了活力与生命力；这里不仅仅是学习和研究的场所，更是思想交流碰撞的创意孵化
器。真人图书馆通过定期举办真人图书馆等活动，让同学们敞开心扉、拓展视野、通过交流来
完善思想，并转变对图书馆固有看法。图书馆长期与校级社团阅微书社合作，阅微书社的成
员遍布各个学院，通过与社团的合作，让阅读推广更能走进校园，更能贴近同学们的需要。
2.Pouring vigor into libraries, bridging the gap between students and libraries and
helping expand the social influence of libraries.
A library is not an ivory tower made of iron and concrete where you are
separated from the ordinary world. It thrives only when it gets connected with the
readers. It is more than just a reference room of studying and doing research. It is the
soil out of which seeds sprout, grow and bear the fruit of wisdom. Students may open
their mind, broaden their horizon through our activities and ultimately change their
impression upon libraries. The school library has been for a long time collaborating
with Yuewei Literature Society, the members of it being students from different

4. majors. Through the very process, we made reading not only accessible for every
student, but intuitive and fun.
3.通过创建真人图书馆平台，让学生了解外面的世界，也让社会读者了解校园文化 。
2016 年微天堂真人图书馆已经获得“武汉大学十佳品牌志愿服务项目”，全年参与读者 1100
余人，影响力遍布华中地区。同学们通过与来自校外的真人图书对话，了解外面的世界，而
校外读者也通过阅读在校真人图书，感受百廿高校优秀学子风采。
3.Creating opportunities for students to get to know the outside world and providing
a glimpse for outsiders into the culture inside the campus.
Little Paradise Human Library, which has won the 2016 Best Public Serving
Projects of Wuhan University and have some 1100 attenders in each of its activities,
has become one of the most influential programs in central China. It creates
opportunities for students to get to know the outside world and providing a glimpse
for outsiders into the culture inside the campus, a campus with a glorious history of
120 years.
b、 项目时间可以属于以下任何时间范围
D、2013/12~~
c、具体的营销内容是什么？（产品、服务、节目、活动等）
在每年春季 3~5 月武汉大学读书节和秋季 10~12 月文化活动月中，我们按照主题挑选
真人图书上架。撰写文案介绍，制作海报，在武汉大学图书馆微信公众号等平台推出活动预
告，读者通过报名链接网上报名参加活动。活动方式分为线上与线下，线下真人图书馆活动
地点有武汉大学图书馆、其他高校图书馆、校内咖啡厅、公园等等。
比如 2016 年 3 月，我们推出了《一花一世界》，真人图书是植物学的博士，也是一位公
益达人，沙湖公园的特邀管理员，带领读者一边赏花观树，讲述植物背后有趣的故事，与
读者讨论与植物相关的美丽诗词；
2016 年我们与华中农业大学图书馆、江汉大学图书馆合作，举办了微天堂真人图书馆
三校巡回活动，其他高校的合作，扩大了真人图书馆的影响力，同时也促进了高校图书馆
间的交流。巡回期间，每次同时推出八本真人图书，有在非洲为艾滋病患者众筹买下小农场
的海外志愿者、文学青年骑行作者、教育咨询公司 CEO、互联网达人、世界记忆大师、心外科
医生、考古队员、手绘画师……真人图书涉及多个领域，为读者提供了丰富的选择空间。
2016 年秋季文化活动月，推出了《灿烂千阳》、《来自恒河的声音》主题真人图书馆，来
自阿富汗和印度的 4 本真人图书与在座读者广泛交流，加深了中外读者的友情，也促进了
文化交流。活动期间除现场读者之外，还有 300 余位线上读者通过直播软件全程参与。线上
真人图书馆打开了一扇新的大门，对于读者不再有空间的局限。
活动中每本书都有一位“导读”陪伴，促进真人图书与读者之间的交流，让两者释放出
最好的互动状态。活动结束后，我们会根据内容发布真图书单，让更多没有时间的读者感受
现场气氛，并且让真人图书推荐自己喜爱的图书，便于读者对于相关主题展开拓展阅读。
In 2016, we cooperated with the library of Huazhong Agricultural University and
the library of Jianghan University and we gave touring performances in these
universities. And by that time we delivered 8 human books each time, including
foreign volunteers who raised money for buying a farmland for people who have aids,
a young writer who loves reading, a CEO of an education consulting agency, an

5. expert of Internet, a grand master of memory, a surgeon of cardiology, an
archaeologist and an artist . We provided such a variety of the human books for
readers to choose from.
We delivered the human book series called “A Thousand Splendid Suns” and
“the voice of Ganges” during the Cultural Festival last year. During the activity, we
invited 4 human books who come from Afghanistan and India to build up a platform
for communication between readers and human books. And more than 300 readers
signed up and got engaged in our activity on the Internet. The online human library
show is a brand new form which makes the participators feel less constrained.
Each time we have a book guide whose job is to promote the communication between
the human books and readers. After each activity, we’ll send our book lists to those
who haven’t come to our scene. And our guest human book will advise our readers on
what to read.
d、使用什么信息来确定用户需要此营销内容？
数据：读者会通过报名链接报名，每次活动都会因报名人数过多，需要截止报名。比如
2016 年 4 月份举办的《TA 的国》，总共推出了 8 本真人图书，报名截止为 90 人，而现场仍
然有很多没有报名成功的读者前来。
Data: Readers may sign up on our website. But on most occasions not everyone is
lucky enough to succeed in signing up for the reason that our seats are always limited.
For example, last time we held an activity called Her Land. Although the seats are
limited(90 at most), lots of readers who failed in booking a seat online were still
willing to come.
读者：2016 年 11 月推出的《灿烂千阳》，有四名河北师范大学的读者专程搭乘火车来
参加活动，由此，我们决心举办线上真人图书馆和现场直播。三年多时间，很多读者与真人
图书馆一起成长。比如微天堂真人图书馆的忠实粉丝刘文佳，从本科开始，只要有时间几乎
参加了每一次活动。她曾说：“每一本真人图书都让我反思自己，真人图书的最大特点并不
是有多高端，有多少身家背景，而是他们都很有趣，很有意思。所谓有趣，就是有思想，有
判断和激情，跟这样的人一起交谈，能得到新的想法和角度。”三年多过去了，刘文佳已绩
点第一本科毕业，现在是一名研究生。毕业后的一段时间，她去肯尼亚贫民窟做志愿者，为
艾滋病患者众筹捐建了一个小型农场，她也成为了我们的一本真人图书。
反馈：在每期活动结束后，我们会抽取 20%的读者进行反馈，询问读者的满意度和改
进意见。读者普通给予了我们肯定和鼓励。

Everybody is a book and has his or her story that deserves reading. This idea
originated from Copenhagen back in the year 2000. Readers gain the opportunity to
communicate with an actual man and read a human book. And the human book find a
path share his ideas.
Little Paradise Human Library is a project hosted by the library of Wuhan University
and coordinated by Yuewei Literature Society, a student club in the campus. We’ve
been working on building a platform that enables readers to communicate with these
human books in an equal, reciprocal manner and to this day, our activity has been held
25 times during which 1783 readers in total have joined us in various ways, including
indoor-outdoor gaming and interacting online. Some of our activities are held at
schools for the blind as a part of our public-serving program and we donated for
building reading rooms in poor mountainous regions to bring hope to children who
are in dire need of of love and knowledge.
We strive to find individuals who have his or her own extraordinary experiences and
present them as “books”, which are worth our reading, in ways of interviewing them
as our guest talkers, “encoding” them with call numbers and making posters to
introduce them to readers. During annual cultural festivals we’ll choose several
human books and ‘borrow’ them those who may be interested. Each time we will have
a guide whose job is to promote the communication between the human books and
readers. Our activity will be held in places like school libraries, cafes, schools for the
blind, parks and some other universities. The human books are required to give a
presentation which lasts about 30 minutes and thus our readers have to opportunity to
read two or three such human book at one time.
We have been for a long time collaborating with Yuewei Literature Society. And
we’ve made this new form of reading accessible for student inside the campus and
we’ve been working on find more fresh human books and let them present their own
stories. Our previous presenters, including an archaeologist who has a curious
adventure of digging graves, a grand master of memory whose specialty is designing
mind maps, a woman journalist from Malaysia who had probed and researched into
what life in Chinese communities is really like, a CEO who had failed a number of

12. time before his final success and a free-lance writer who became a cyclist after he got
expelled from school, all generated a lot of buzz after sharing their own stories. We
also selected foreign presenters to be our human books. Our previous editions of such
human books include three Indian presenters(Voice of the Ganges) and one Afghan
presenter (Afghanistan, my Afghanistan). More than three hundred readers had
attended our live web cast. Our online shows are not only prepared for students of our
campus, but are for readers from various parts of the world as well.
As a new source of reading material, human books help enrich our archives and
avail our readers a good deal in terms of spreading knowledge and sharing experience.
Readers may broaden their horizon and expand knowledge and skills. It benefits the
traditional library as well in terms of bringing new elements to traditional use of
archives, making libraries more appealing to readers and adding spice to reading.
