We're thrilled to announce the launch of our RTL Staff Library — a space where we  can donate, borrow, and share books with our colleagues.

In today's digital world, we've been discussing how reading has become a lost art due to excessive screen time. A few of us who were already swapping books decided to expand this into a company-wide initiative.

The best part? It was truly a collaborative effort! Our factory donated an unused shelf, which our Service department refurbished—simply sanding it down without using additional paint. We repurposed a misprinted chevron pattern as backing and used extra signage we had on hand.

We've kept the process deliberately simple—no formal tracking system, just an honesty approach. Borrow a book, return it within 2-3 weeks, and keep the library accessible to everyone.

We're already seeing wonderful engagement, with colleagues borrowing books and friends and family contributing to our collection. It's an easy initiative to implement, and we encourage other companies to give it a try!

A few team members are planning to "release" new books next month to keep the library fresh and engaging. Others even mentioned forming a book club!

What small steps has your organization taken to foster organic engagement and community building?
