Drop Everything And Read (DEAR)

The National Library Board will be launching its D.E.A.R promotion once again from 1 Nov 2006 to 31 January 2007.

During the D.E.A.R promotion, we encourage you to Double Up on Your Reading - basic members can borrow up to 8 items and premium members up to 16 items. In addiiton, you get a chance to win a DEAR bag when you borrow eight books in a single receipt (while stocks last).

To participate in the DEAR-SilkAir Quiz, library patron has to borrow eight books and answer some travel-related questions. Two winners will be picked where they stand to win a return air ticket to either Kota Kinabalu or Langkawi, kindly sponsored by SilkAir. In addition, there are also five consolation prizes to be won. The draw will be conducted at library@orchard on 24 February 2007, 3pm.

Take part in our ASK! Contest and stand a chance to win a book. Simply pick up the ASK! Contest form and ask any (one) burning question that you have in mind. Attach your loan receipts of 4 items to the quiz form. Drop it in the ASK! Contest box. The ASK! Contest is available at Jurong, Woodlands and Tampines Regional Libraries only.

We hope that our library customers and Singaporeans alike will recognize that reading is as important to the mind as exercise is to the body and that it is a meaningful activity worth setting aside time for.
