Committee of Supply debate: Big push to kindle love of reading
From bringing specially curated reading materials to offices to transforming an MRT train into a mobile digital library, the National Library Board (NLB) is going all out to get more people to read.
It is starting a National Reading Movement and, on July 30, will mark Singapore’s first National Reading Day. It will also conduct a nationwide survey on reading habits to better understand how to promote reading.
The push comes amid survey results that paint a sobering picture of reading habits here.
