SGThe National Library Board (NLB) in Singapore is launching a five-year campaign called ReadSG in September to promote reading among Singaporeans. The initiative includes a challenge that gamifies reading through a government digital platform called CrowdTaskSG, rewarding users with experience points and redeemable coins. Another component, Read For Good, connects time spent reading to charitable contributions. The campaign will feature events like themed reading spaces, a marketplace, and a mass reading session, with President Tharman Shanmugaratnam serving as guest of honor. The Big Book Giveaway will return in late September, distributing thousands of pre-loved books.
