Yunlin Literary Desk Calendar: A Project for Immersive Reading and Sustainable Education Design
Project Description: This project aims to translate static public library collections into dynamic learning mediums that are accessible, perceptible, and accumulable in daily life. Breaking away from the framework of traditional government promotional materials, the project employs a ritualistic and stylized design language. Through three years of product iteration, it transforms reading into an anticipated lifestyle behavior.

Strategic Evolution: The product deepens the learning experience in stages:

2024: Initiated reading habits with "365 Daily Quotes."

2025: Focused on "Yunlin Authors’ Literary Quotes" and local stories, connecting reading to cultural identity.

2026: Elevated the concept to "The 24 Solar Terms and Spirits of the Land," transforming abstract literature into an aesthetic perception of seasonal changes. This completes a cross-disciplinary transformation from textual understanding to sensory experience, demonstrating a long-term vision for educational design.

Design & Sustainability: The design emphasizes interactivity and sustainability. The 2026 edition features a "detachable card" design, allowing pages to be repurposed as bookmarks or DIY cards, ensuring knowledge circulates and is reused. The wooden base functions as a phone and business card holder, while the eco-friendly corrugated packaging is inspired by local agricultural fruit crates. This blend of local agricultural culture, sustainable thinking, and contemporary aesthetics significantly extends the product's usage scenarios and life cycle.

Social Impact: By utilizing a "cumulative library borrowing" redemption model, the project internalizes the reward mechanism into a long-term reading habit, turning local literature into spiritual nourishment for self-directed learning and daily life.
