Mingma’s reading promotion plans are endless. It is expected that students will have both quantitative and qualitative changes in their reading attitudes; both input and output. The "Mingma Wenqing Reading Award Program" led by the library contacts multiple departments, including the dormitory department, Chinese history and many science disciplines awarded students "whole-person certification", "historical certification", and "science certification" to encourage students to read and write more, and still receive a large number of reading reports under the epidemic.

"Cross-School Book Tour" is jointly organized by Ming Ma in collaboration with Kowloon Tong School (Secondary Section), Wuyi Situ Hao Middle School, Zeng Bishan (Chonglan) Middle School, Zheng Zhi Middle School and Chaozhou Huiguan Middle School.
Encourage students from all schools to make films to introduce to friends from the school’s recent popular or unmissable books, and other schools will broadcast them during morning meetings or online classes, so that students from different schools can share the joy of reading.
The director of Mingma Library, Dr. Li Ziqian, shared the concept of the project: "Good books recommended by classmates from other schools should be more attractive than schoolmates. The librarians of our six schools all share the same belief."
