Read on the Go is a curated e-book wall that is presented in collaboration with the National Library Board. It offers stories that unfold across three powerful strands:
Hear the Voices from the Margins: Tales that amplify perspectives that are often overlooked, offering insight into those who live on the edges of society.
Discover the Spectral and Small: Narratives that delve into the unseen and ephemeral
Look in the Mirror: Introspective works that reflect on ideas of identity, self-awareness and the complexity of being.
With 12 titles spanning English, Chinese, Malay and Tamil, this installation invites you to connect with Singapore literature in profound and personal ways. Scan the QR codes to borrow these e-books and carry their voices into your reflections, your journeys, and the quiet moments in between.
The National Reading Movement (NRM), launched by the National Library Board (NLB) in 2016, promotes a vibrant reading culture in Singapore. Encouraging all to "Read More, Read Widely, Read Together," it fosters exploration of diverse genres and mother tongue languages. NLB—with 28 public libraries, the National Library and National Archives—nurtures lifelong readers, learning communities and a knowledgeable nation.
