‘For You Page’, a Singapore Literature (Sing Lit) campaign led by final year students from NTU Wee Kim Wee School of Communication and Information (WKWSCI), is launching “Get Booked’’ – a series of book pop-up events at three well-known cafes from 29 January 2024 to 29 March 2024. During limited periods at Brawn and Brains Coffee, Creme by LÉLE Bakery and The Social Space, patrons can enjoy browsing through free books.
Made for patrons seeking a coffee fix, hangout spot and workspace respectively, “Get Booked” consists of three pop-up events with varying opening hours.
Get Booked with Brews at Brawn and Brains Coffee (Hamilton Road) from 29 January 2024 to 9 February 2024 – featuring an inviting space for coffee lovers to relax and catch up over books;
Get Booked to Chill at Creme by LÉLE Bakery from 13 February 2024 to 27 February 2024 – presenting a cozy hangout and reading spot with their specialty Nian Gao Rice Cake Waffles and ice-cream for Chinese New Year, open past midnight; and
Get Booked and Hustle at The Social Space (Kreta Ayer) from 15 March 2024 to 29 March 2024 – offering a conducive space for work and breaks with Wi-Fi connection, food, drinks, books and retail space for productivity-seekers.
At each event, visitors can expect a curated selection of English books including fiction, non-fiction, novels, poetry, plays and more. The booth features interactive zines with activities patrons can participate in to enter giveaways and win attractive vouchers from establishments such as Bob The Baker Boy and Book Bar. There, patrons can help themselves to complimentary stickers and bookmarks as keepsakes from the event.
Additionally, the For You Picnic will be set in NTU’s School of Humanities and Social Sciences from 16 February 2024 to 1 March 2024, for students to engage with books in a comfortable space with snacks, bean bags and mats.
