bookcrossing

«Bookcrossing» is a kind of «book circle», the essence of which is the journey of a book through readers. It became one of the motivating factors for the reading program «100 books». The discussion of books and exchange of reading experience are realized through MeMoro, the REDeX conference.

The book trip is one of the ingrained traditions of Nazarbayev Intellectual Schools. Its main message, «Take One, Put Two Books», is that, during the event, students can take any book they are interested in. However, in return they must bring and leave two other books instead. Inside the publication, they can leave a little message to the friend who will read that book, express their thoughts about what they have read, share their impressions about it. The book-traveler’s shelf is never empty, it is repeatedly renewed.
