Airside Reading Corner
Kids looking for something fun and educational can head to a storytelling pop-up at Airside in Kai Tak being held this month.
Organised in conjunction with the OnePile Foundation, a non-profit organisation that believes in the power of books, the Sustainable Reading Corner (near Shop 420, 4/F) features a reading area, a bookstore section for parent-child bonding, and a series of workshops such as the supercool urban farming one where children can learn about growing seasonal crops.
Workshop participants get a 10 per cent discount on the new books on display in the corner. For session dates, times and registration, visit the NF Touch website.
