Every month or so, I donate a few books from my personal library here in Singapore to the National Library Board (NLB), specifically the Central Public Library located at Victoria Street. Over the last 2.5 years of staying in Singapore, I have managed to accumulate quite a collection in my condo. It's amazing how one book can so quickly multiply into hundreds. I have completely succeeded in ignoring my mom's warning (and many reminders) on not to build a "new collection"—sorry, mom...

I’m quite a ‘hoarder’ when it comes to books and I love collecting them and curating my personal library. However, recently I got a bit Zen and thought to make space and contribute to society. The NLB provides me with a great solution to my cause with their book exchange corners. I've been donating my books ever since.
