As a longtime book fan, I always believed in the “reclusive book” notion. I’ve always felt the urge to talk about them with someone who would be willing to hear me out when I read a book, a narrative, a book series, or even a comic.
Well, as an optimist, I enjoy talking to people in public, but there’s a strong pull among geeks, extroverted and then, to talk about their reads.
And from the appearance of it, I’m not alone. Book leagues, it seems, are having a time in Singapore.
Thanks in part to the National Library Board ( NLB )’s National Reading Movement, there are roughly over 50 book clubs run in English, Malay, Tamil and Chinese in various libraries across the country. There are 15 to 60 respondents in each of NLB’s LearnX Communities, a group of interest groups supported by NLB that promotes reading beyond the walls of libraries.
Beyond the collection, Book Bar, a store shop at Duxton Road with a focus on local and regional books, holds standard text events with about 30 to 60 attendees.  ,
And these numbers do n’t even include ground-up book clubs.
The National Institute of Education’s deputy head of research, who includes reading nations and the position of books, noted that in the past, book venues were generally run by libraries or bookstores.
But these time, you’ll find text venues initiated by your , excited everyday reader.
