My First Box of “The Little Book Box” by NLB

About a month ago, I mentioned about my subscription of NLB’s The Little Book Box program. Today, my first ‘box’ of books has arrived!

Mr Pops decided that he wants to be in the photo (as always!)…

Here’s the loan receipt that comes with the batch of books. Mr Pops has ‘blocked’ the books in the first pic so I thought the receipt helps show the book titles.

The books came in this nice, colorful carrier, which was inside the courier package. It’s foldable to fit into a small square slip that comes with it.

In case you’re wondering what this program is about, The Little Book Box is a book subscription service by the NLB targeted at young readers aged four to nine, offering a broad range of genres. It’s a carefully curated selection by the librarians suitable for children’s interests aimed at nurturing their love for reading. Read more about it here.

Although targeted at children, I’m very keen to support this NLB initiative. Subscribers will receive a monthly selection of eight English children’s books, which include a variety of fiction and non-fiction books. The monthly subscription fee is S$10.70 (including GST). A minimum subscription period of three months is required so I paid an upfront amount of S$32.10.

It’s easy to participate (condition: must already be a NLB library member). Just complete the form, wait for NLB to contact you, and pay the subscription fee.
