For the faithful follower of NLB’s annual Read! Singapore, the time has arrived. For this year’s Read! Singapore 2009, the chosen theme “Dreams and Choices” seeks to encourage Singaporeans to stay focused on their goals during these challenging times.

“From 22 May to 31 August this year, Singaporeans can look forward to a host of exciting reading activities at various locations islandwide. For the first time, READ! Singapore will hold a Singapore record-setting event with a 144-hour Reading Marathon. Participants will form teams of not more than 12 members to read the selected READ! Singapore literary works or other stories of their choice for a continuous period of six hours per team. After completing six hours, each team will pass the baton to the next team to continue the reading marathon. The event will run from 3 to 9 July at The Plaza, National Library Building.”

So what are you waiting for… Let’s start reading now Singapore!!
