When Is Your Last Trip To A Library?

Is going to the library only for children and students? Or for senior citizens to read newspapers and magazine to kill their time?

A check with http://www.nlb.gov.sg showed that there are at least twenty libraries scattered round our island with many located right in the heart of our
neighbourhood.

Each member of the library is allowed to borrow up to 4 books or magazines for 3 weeks (2 weeks for magazines). A small fine will be imposed for late return. During the year-end school holidays, the loan quota can be doubled.

I love the phrase "Born to read and Read to Bond". Reading a good habit and it is best start from young. By reading, it opens up our world and allows us to gain more knowledge.

I like to read from young. My favourites includes financial books and magazines, detective stories, self-improvement books etc.

Make a trip to your nearest library during this weekend. Borrowing of books is free of charge. In addition, there are some libraries (Eg Jurong Regional Library) with a cafe inside them. Spend a couple of hours sipping your cup of hot coffee or eating a piece of blueberry cake and at the same time immerse yourself in a book of your choice. This is one of the best moments in life.
