ASK! - “What is BookCross@SG?”

Apparently, some colleagues over at the ASK! service point have receieved this query at least once. Well, enough to feature the answer on the ASK! blog

Literary history of Singapore

Thanks to all who attended our last Bookcross Social in Jan! It was a literary tour of Singapore and I, for one, had my eyes opened to our rich literary history - which honestly, I didn’t expect since we don’t have much of a high-profile publishing output and also since we’re a pretty young country.

A merry meet-up in December

Lynn:
Unfortunately, yours truly had to miss Dec’s meet-up due to a clashing programme.

November’s Meet-up is Here!

October’s meet-up aka Crossing, was a blast! Most who attended walked away with happy smiles. At least I hope they were happy about the programme, and not just happy to be finally free of us.
The facilitator, aka me, was relived that everything turned out well - based on the laughter I heard coming from […]
