Tired from all the walking and shopping in a mall? You can now take a break and pick up a book at a reading corner nearby.
Seven malls and social enterprises across Singapore have partnered the National Library Board (NLB) to host new Sit-n-Read Nodes, cosy self-service spaces offering more than 3,000 pre-loved books for anyone to browse or take home.
These nodes, which feature a regularly refreshed mix of fiction and nonfiction titles for adults and children, are the latest effort to bring reading closer to the community.
