In late April to mid-May, 2017, Youth Volunteers Association of School of Foreign Languages launched a second-hand books exchange activity of "Old books and new owners" on campus. A book-recycling box and tent were set downstairs in the dormitory of our university and in front of the Canteen One and Canteen Three to increase book utilization.

    The volunteers placed collection boxes in advance for students to donate books they did not need any more. After the collection of books, volunteers sorted these books into different subjects, and imput the information into an excel form in accordance with titles and numbers of the books and then publicized it on Youth Volunteers Association Wechat Public Platform. Students only needed to reply the title of the book in the public platform to easily check the books they want.

    The activity lasted for a long time and collected as many as 300 books. Various types of bibliographies of various professional books, including English, Japanese, and public elective courses could well meet the needs of freshmen to juniors.

     The “Old books and new owners” activity offered convenience to students of SFL, which could allocate resources more effectively and maximize the use of resources in the campus.
