Let’s Go Read OutSide!

By 3Pumpkins

Let’s Go Read OutSide! brings Singapore children’s literature right into void decks and playgrounds, transforming everyday spaces into imaginative places where books come alive! Suitable for children aged 10 and below, the programme includes pop-up libraries and experiential workshops.

Organised as part of #BuySingLit 2020 and supported by National Arts Council, this programme is conducted as part of Let’s Go PLay OutSide!, a community outreach project that makes the arts accessible to all children.

Library Opening Hours:

Weekdays: 25th, 26th, 27th March (4pm - 9pm)

Experiential Workshops:

28th March Saturday 4.30pm - 5.30pm : Book Title: The Robot in My Playground by Pauline Loh and illustrated by Avina Tan

29th March Sunday 4.30pm - 5.30pm : A Stray by Michael Wang and illustrated by Neal Sharp

Come join us in an experiential workshop facilitated by Farez Najid where we delve into two locally written books. These books will be read out loud and accompanied by a creative activity after.
