A community grows through small interactions.
This summer, Lidoway · CNS Community is introducing two new everyday features — Zero Waste & Swap and Co-create Reading Corner — creating more ways for neighbors to share, discover, and connect.
♻️ Zero Waste & Swap
Give Your Unused Items a New Home
Have something you no longer need, but someone else might love?
Our new Zero Waste & Swap Corner welcomes clean, pre-loved small items and gives them a chance for a new life.
You can bring:
☑ Mugs and small household items
☑ Toys and decorations
☑ Stationery and other useful little things
Please make sure items are:
- Clean and in good condition
- Small enough to fit into our 400 × 400 mm shelf cubbies
We currently do not accept:
✘ Clothes
✘ Food
✘ Broken or heavily damaged items
✘ Oversized items
Instead of letting unused things sit at home, why not let them become someone else’s new favorite?
📚 Co-create Our Reading Corner
Share a Book, Share a Story
Books connect people beyond languages and backgrounds.
Our new Reading Corner is looking for books to help create a shared reading space for the community.
We welcome:
☑ Chinese and English novels
☑ Lifestyle books and magazines
☑ Picture books and children’s books
(Please note: textbooks, exam materials, and seriously damaged books are not accepted.)
When you bring a book, you can also fill in a book recommendation card — sharing why you loved it and helping others find their next great read.
Book lovers are also welcome to join our future in-person book sharing activities and meet fellow readers in the neighborhood.
