Learning from each other
Heidi volunteers here and runs a weekly Qigong class that has grown from six to sixteen participants, aged six to eighty six. While she offers her skills and care, she also receives tremendous support from the group and the library.
Heidi was offered weekly one to one English practice, helping her gain confidence, achieve local qualifications and, most importantly, becoming her friends. Last month, she passed her Life in the UK test and became a permanent resident. This is what community means.
Gratitude
None of this would have been possible without all of you, the Friends of Belsize Community Library, who welcomed us with love and kindness; without The Winch, who supported us from technical know how to funding applications; and without Councillors Tom and Judy, whose grant last year supported our operations.
A historic and meaningful space
This building was designed as the first modern library in 1937 and saved by the Friends of Belsize Library in 2012. Today, by supporting the Hong Kong Library, you have also helped preserve an important part of Hong Kong’s modern history.
My wish is that this cultural library model can inspire other communities - celebrating heritage while serving local residents, and helping build a diverse and inclusive society.
Happy 90th Birthday to the Belsize Community Library.

Our honourable guests - Victor Coren Mitchell, Tulip Siddiq MP, Councillor Tom Simon, Rashid Iqbal, Anthony Isaacs - and our dear neighbours and volunteers. I am Denise, founder of GLHK.
It is my greatest honour to speak on behalf of the Gathering Leaves Hong Kong community as we celebrate the 90th Birthday of the Belsize Community Library.
When I arrived in London in 2021, I walked into this library and was warmly welcomed by Angela and Lucy. Their kindness made us feel instantly at home, and that moment began the journey of Gathering Leaves - the Hong Kong Library in London.
A cultural community library
Since our library began in May 2022, many Hongkongers have asked how a Hong Kong library could operate in the UK. It became possible through the support of this library and The Winch, who offered us shared access to the library system and became our partners.
Unlike a council or university library, our system allows us to serve residents across the UK while remaining fully open to the public. GLHK curates our collection by selecting and purchasing our own books and producing a traditional Chinese catalogue. This independence has helped us build a high quality, up to date cultural collection, attracting visitors from Hong Kong and scholars from Europe, America, Canada, Australia and Taiwan.
A library opens three days plus Saturday
Our collaboration with The Winch allows the library to open an extra day - Saturday - giving working families, especially those with children, the chance to enjoy the library, read and borrow a book, use the space at the weekend and enabling us to share Hong Kong culture with wider audiences.
A home for cultural exchange
Over the past four years, we have hosted book fairs, cultural celebrations, town hall discussions, authors’ talk, film screenings and artist demonstrations - events enjoyed by both Hongkongers and the local community. A friend told me after a poetry reading by a HK poet, she said it reminds me of what happened in my home county.
The Belsize Library has truly become a cultural infrastructure for Hongkongers and a place of meaningful exchange.

當工作可以遠距、資產能夠存在鏈上、社群在線上形成，人與地方之間的關係似乎也變得前所未有地鬆動。在哪裡生活，亦開始被想像成一種可以自由選擇的決定。

近年，越來越多人帶著電腦離開原本生活的城市，在不同國家之間移動。有人藉由遠距工作與較低的生活成本，暫時逃離現實，像是高房價與高壓職場，在異地尋找另一種生活節奏；也有人因政治環境被迫流亡，或基於對自由、隱私與去中心化的信念，帶著加密技術、社群網絡與自治實踐一路遷徙。看似相似的「數位遊牧」背後，其實存在著截然不同的出發點，既有「躺平的遊牧」，也有試圖尋找另一種社會可能的，即可稱之為「有意識的遊牧」。

然而，人可以相對輕易離開一個地方，卻很難真正輕裝上路。我們帶走的不只是行李與電腦，還有關係、資產、工作方式、組織經驗，甚至曾經生活過的社會留下的政治記憶。當一群流動的人在新的城市相遇，短暫的聚會開始變成固定空間，朋友成為合作夥伴，社群逐漸發展出產業鏈、內部衝突與治理規則，「遊牧」也不再只是移動，而成為一場又一場關於如何落地生根的實驗。
本次分享，黃豆泥將從自身對密碼龐克與數位遊牧社群的觀察出發，帶我們走進一群穿梭於不同城市與國界之間的數位流動者：他們為何離開，又在尋找什麼？當網路上的理念真正進入一座城市，人與人的關係如何重新組織，數位平台又如何反過來塑造地方社群？

而在所有關於「無國界」的想像背後，護照決定我們能去哪裡，簽證決定我們能停留多久，國家管制與地方社會也從未真正消失。當數位世界許
