For 2024, the beneficiaries are children from the WondeRead and kidsRead initiatives and social service agency MindSG, which cares for persons with intellectual disabilities and their families.
Low-income families with babies and toddlers will be given starter kits under the Ready to Read @ NLB initiative. Anyone can take part in the book donation drive by registering as an individual, school or organisation. Read at any venue and submit photos of the activity.
