Background
Every year the world’s largest literature festival takes place in Jaipur. Renowned authors, book lovers and literary fans flood the city. And if there’s one thing, they all have in common, it’s their love for a quiet place to read…Something that isn’t easily found in Indian cities! And Jaipur is no different. As the title sponsor for the world’s largest literature festival, Samsung had the perfect solution. The NOT SO SILENT LIBRARY. Samsung’s Active Noise Cancellation Galaxy Buds2 Pro earbuds and the Galaxy S9 series tabs, were stationed across some of the noisiest places across Jaipur. Readers were teased with a message. And when they plugged in the Buds and chose an audiobook from the Tab, a literal library came up around them.
