The Children's day is finally here. Bring your little ones together to enjoy a happy yet special weekend.
3. NLB new children’s book subscription service, The Little Book Box
For the first time, the National Library Board (NLB) will curate books for children and have them delivered to you every month. NLB is launching a new subscription service, The Little Book Box, for a monthly fee of $10.70 (including GST). This pilot service will be available for registration from 2 October 2020 onwards, in conjunction with Children’s Day, and will run for nine months from November 2020 to July 2021.
You can subscribe to this service at https://go.gov.sg/nlb-thelittlebookbox to receive a monthly selection of eight English children’s books, which include a variety of fiction and non-fiction books. The books span a broad range of children’s interests and are catered for two age groups – from 4 to 6 years old and 7 to 9 years old. This pilot service will be capped at 1,000 subscribers and is available on a first-come, first-serve basis. By subscribing to The Little Book Box, families can also enjoy a greater variety of reads because the eight books obtained through the subscription service do not fall within the usual loan quota.
