走進(jìn)北京朝陽(yáng)區(qū)的馬泉營(yíng)村，你會(huì)一下子迷失在這片上萬(wàn)居民的巷陌里。
一模一樣的房屋，排排列列，棋盤(pán)格似的布局——如果不在這里常住，上下左右看去，你很難分辨自己的方位。
然而，如果抓住人問(wèn)：“同心圖書(shū)館在哪里？”你一定會(huì)得到答案。
因?yàn)?，同心圖書(shū)館好像這里的文化地標(biāo)——是近萬(wàn)居民的閱讀空間，七八百個(gè)孩子的校外活動(dòng)場(chǎng)所。
2022年11月，馬泉營(yíng)的第一座同心圖書(shū)館開(kāi)館。
2024年10月19日，在眾多社會(huì)力量，包括啟明星師生和家長(zhǎng)的支持下，第二座同心圖書(shū)館——同心兒童友好空間——在馬泉營(yíng)村一區(qū)落成開(kāi)幕，為居民提供更大、更新的閱讀和活動(dòng)場(chǎng)所。
開(kāi)幕活動(dòng)的主題是“禮物”。對(duì)于成人和兒童，這座新館都是絕好的禮物，大家在這里閱讀，去往更加廣闊的世界。

王博是把京郊皮村的圖書(shū)館復(fù)制到馬泉營(yíng)的人，也是馬泉營(yíng)兩座同心圖書(shū)館的創(chuàng)始人。

2020年疫情肆虐，那時(shí)王博還在皮村。孩子們沒(méi)法上學(xué)，困在家里的媽媽們也想要學(xué)些新的知識(shí)和技能。家長(zhǎng)們?cè)趫D書(shū)館見(jiàn)面、交流，組織活動(dòng)，圖書(shū)館也成了孩子自習(xí)、結(jié)伴學(xué)習(xí)的共享空間。皮村圖書(shū)館就這樣火了起來(lái)。
2023年，王博決定把皮村的圖書(shū)館復(fù)制到其他城中村去：“北京有那么多外來(lái)打工的人，他們有這個(gè)需要?！?/p>
他找地點(diǎn)，籌錢(qián)，2023年，同心圖書(shū)館在馬泉營(yíng)開(kāi)館了。
圖書(shū)借閱、電影放映、組織親子活動(dòng)……同心圖書(shū)館服務(wù)著這里近萬(wàn)名居民，其中有七八百個(gè)孩子，還輻射周邊的一些村子。
公益圖書(shū)館畢竟和財(cái)米油鹽隔了層皮，日子過(guò)得不容易。未來(lái)的方向在哪里？王博心里也沒(méi)有答案。
但有價(jià)值的東西，總會(huì)有人傳播，總會(huì)被人看見(jiàn)。
比如，包括距離馬泉營(yíng)不遠(yuǎn)的啟明星社區(qū)——
同心圖書(shū)館的誕生基于發(fā)現(xiàn)和解決社區(qū)問(wèn)題的目標(biāo)，這和啟明星社會(huì)創(chuàng)新項(xiàng)目的愿景并行不悖。
啟明星和同心圖書(shū)館的使命“齒輪”注定要一起轉(zhuǎn)動(dòng)：
屋宇建設(shè)
啟明星執(zhí)行校董許尚杰在同心圖書(shū)館舊館組織活動(dòng)時(shí)擔(dān)任志愿者，親自組織孩子們參加“童子軍”露營(yíng)活動(dòng)，傳授露營(yíng)技巧。同心籌建新館，他又提供了大量資金，并且委派工程施工的同事給予技術(shù)支持。啟明星D+劇院設(shè)計(jì)師馬笑漪為同心新館免費(fèi)提供了空間設(shè)計(jì)。
家長(zhǎng)讀書(shū)會(huì)
北皋校區(qū)學(xué)生李懌夫的爸爸李杰從朋友圈看到同心圖書(shū)館的信息，當(dāng)天就找到這里?！胺?wù)是啟明星核心價(jià)值觀非常關(guān)鍵的部分。受到這樣的觀念感召，我和家人一直在探索建立一個(gè)學(xué)習(xí)型的社區(qū)?，F(xiàn)在每個(gè)周五晚上，在同心圖書(shū)館，我會(huì)和馬泉營(yíng)村的一些家庭共讀家庭美德教育的書(shū)籍，每個(gè)月大家還聚在一起讀詩(shī)......”李杰說(shuō)。
校內(nèi)募捐
學(xué)生李懌夫把幫助同心圖書(shū)館作為自己5年級(jí)PYP畢業(yè)展的主題。他制作了介紹同心項(xiàng)目的展板，在學(xué)校里為同心募捐圖書(shū)和善款，最終，為同心募到半個(gè)月的房租和7箱書(shū)籍。
閱讀盒子
啟明星2023屆高中畢業(yè)生王之韻熱愛(ài)建筑和設(shè)計(jì)，為同心貢獻(xiàn)了2項(xiàng)服務(wù)。一是11年級(jí)時(shí)，她幫助同心舊館規(guī)劃了室內(nèi)區(qū)域，完成了造型、裝飾和書(shū)籍收納的設(shè)計(jì)；二是在畢業(yè)后的暑假繼續(xù)為同心發(fā)力，設(shè)計(jì)了低年級(jí)小朋友的閱讀盒子包裝?，F(xiàn)在，已經(jīng)在英國(guó)讀大學(xué)的王之韻說(shuō)：“同心圖書(shū)館聯(lián)結(jié)起很多人，關(guān)注小朋友的感受，是個(gè)了不起的項(xiàng)目！看到自己的設(shè)計(jì)在圖書(shū)館里被使用，我體會(huì)到很大的成就感和滿足感！”
在啟明星的社會(huì)創(chuàng)新總監(jiān)Temily Tavangar看來(lái)，支持同心不只是一個(gè)服務(wù)項(xiàng)目，也是一個(gè)賦能項(xiàng)目，是一項(xiàng)為馬泉營(yíng)村民帶來(lái)深廣影響的事業(yè)：
同心新館有開(kāi)放幼兒托管的計(jì)劃，我們邀請(qǐng)王博先生來(lái)啟明星幼兒園參觀，了解蒙臺(tái)梭利教育的理念和方法，幫助同心更好地規(guī)劃自己的未來(lái)。
馬泉營(yíng)社區(qū)的孩子有英文學(xué)習(xí)的需求，我們非常愿意以同心為基地培訓(xùn)英文教師，如果大家有感動(dòng)，歡迎加入我們！”
馬泉營(yíng)同心圖書(shū)館舊館的墻上貼著馬爾克斯自傳里的一句話：“我年輕過(guò)，落魄過(guò)，幸福過(guò)，我對(duì)生活一往情深?！?/p>
這句話仿佛寫(xiě)給同心圖書(shū)館，也鼓勵(lì)啟明星堅(jiān)持社會(huì)創(chuàng)新的理念——在發(fā)現(xiàn)問(wèn)題和解決問(wèn)題的過(guò)程中，我們可能不會(huì)一帆風(fēng)順，卻能在直面挑戰(zhàn)的時(shí)候獲得強(qiáng)烈而綿長(zhǎng)的滿足感。
同心圖書(shū)館規(guī)模不大，但集合了包括啟明星在內(nèi)的各界資源的支持，有血有肉，有生命力，真誠(chéng)服務(wù)著周邊社區(qū)，縱然如黃銅一樣普通，也在大家的共同摩挲下變得像黃金一樣閃閃發(fā)亮！祝福同心！
You might easily find yourself lost after entering Maquanying Village in Beijing's Chaoyang District. Identical rows of houses are laid out in a grid-like pattern. Unless you are a regular, it can be hard to place where you are.
However, if you ask a local, “Where is the Tongxin Library?”you will surely get an answer.
Tongxin Library is a reading space for thousands of residents and an activity center for nearly eight hundred children. The library serves as acultural landmarkin the area.
The first Tongxin Library opened in Maquanying in November, 2022. On October 19, 2024, with the support of many community members,including members from Daystar community, the second Tongxin Library opened in District 1 of Maquanying Village,providing an even larger space for reading and activities.
The theme of the opening event was "Gifts." For both adults and children, this new library represents a wonderful gift, a place where everyone can read and explore broader horizons.
Daystar Academy's Executive Board Member Jack Hsu attended the opening ceremony.
Wang Bo is the visionary who founded both Tongxin Libraries, bringing the library model from Pi Village, in the outskirts of Beijing, to Maquanying.

During the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, while still in Pi Village, Wang watched as children were not able to attend school, and many mothers confined at home were eager to learn new skills and knowledge. He noticed that parents began meeting at the library to organize and run activities. The Pi Village Library quickly transformed into a popular, shared space for children to study and collaborate.
In 2023, Wang decided to expand the library concept to other urban villages, believing that “there are many migrant workers in Beijing who need such resources.”
He found the locations, spent 2-3 months on renovations, and raised funds through work and support from dozens of relatives and friends. That year, Tongxin Library opened in Maquanying.
With book lending, film screenings, and family activities, Tongxin Library aims to serve the thousands of residents and hundreds of children in the area, as well as reach neighboring villages.
Libraries, however, often exist apart from the daily necessities of life. What is the future direction? Wang doesn’t have a definitive answer.
But valuable initiatives always find ways to be shared and noticed.
Enthusiastic support for Tongxin also comes from the nearby Daystar community:
The creation of Tongxin Library was built out of identifying and addressing community needs, aligning perfectly with the vision of Daystar's social innovation project.
The missions of Daystar and Tongxin Library are destined to work in tandem:
Construction Support
Daystar's Executive Board Member Jack Hsu organized an event at the old Tongxin Library. He personally volunteered and guided children in participating in a "Scouts" camping activity, teaching them camping skills. To support the new library, he provided substantial funding and construction support. Ma Xiaoyi, designer of the Daystar D+ Theatre also contributed to the space design for free for the new library.
Reading Club
Li Jie, father of student Austin Li from Beigao Campus, learned about Tongxin Library through social media and visited that same day. “Service is a critical part of Daystar’s core values. Inspired by this, my family and I have been exploring ways to create a learning community. Every Friday evening at Tongxin Library, I gather with families from Maquanying to read books on family virtues, and we also meet monthly to read poetry. ” Li Jie shared.
Donation
Austin Li himself chose to focus on supporting Tongxin Library for his fifth-grade PYP exhibition. He created a display about the library project and organized book and donation drives at school, ultimately raising half a month’s rent and seven boxes of books for Tongxin.
Reading Package
Lucy Wang, a 2023 high school graduate of Daystar, contributed to two projects. In 11th grade, she helped plan the indoor spaces of the original Tongxin Library, focusing on layout, decoration, and book storage. After graduating, she continued her involvement by designing reading packages for younger children. Now studying in the UK, Lucy said, “Tongxin Library connects many people and prioritizes children’s experiences—it’s an amazing project!Seeing my designs in use at the library gives me immense satisfaction and fulfillment!”
According to Temily Tavangar, Social Innovation Director at Daystar, supporting Tongxin is not just a service project; it’s an empowering initiative that has a profound impact on the Maquanying community.
The new Tongxin Library plans to offer open services for early childhood. We invited Mr. Wang to visit Daystar Early Learning Center to learn about Montessori education methods and inspire their own approach,” Temily noted.
“The children in the Maquanying community have a need for English learning, and we are very willing to share our resources to support Tongxin. We welcome anyone who feels inspired to join us!”
On the wall of the old Tongxin Library is a quote of Gabriel Garcia Marquez: “I was young, I was down and out, I was happy, and I loved life deeply.”
This quote seems to be written for Tongxin Library, encouraging us to uphold the principles of social innovation—the process of identifying and solving problems might not always be smooth or easy, but by stepping up to meet these challenges, we gain profound and lasting fulfillment.
Tongxin Library is modest in size, yet it has brought together the active support of multiple community resources, including Daystar. Tongxin is grounded in its service to the surrounding community; the sincerity of its work shines with a vibrant authenticity that is further illuminated by the collective efforts of all who are involved!
