Amazon Singapore brings a unique and immersive reading experience to Punggol Regional Library. The initiative, Page to Page: Amazon Singapore Books Pop Up, hopes to inspire the next generation of lifelong readers, by extending reading resources to the headlands.
The event showcases a tree adorned with books sourced from Amazon Singapore’s diverse local and international sellers, fostering a sense of community while inspiring a passion for literacy during this festive season.
If you are in the northeastern part of Singapore, do visit and experience this pop-up as a family and craft special moments with each other. You may even get a chance to witness Senior Minister of State, Ministry of Communications and Information & Ministry of Health, Dr Janil Puthucheary, conducting a storytelling session on the opening day!
Date: 2 December 2023 to 17 December 2023
Location: Punggol Regional Library
In addition, as part of the Amazon x Shop for Good wishlist initiative, Amazon Singapore also donates $100,000 in cash to four local NPOs, including Children’s Wishing Well, Club Rainbow (Singapore), Fei Yue Family Service Centre and Glyph Community, to help children and youths in Singapore better learn, play, and develop in the long-run.
Amazon x Shop for Good wishlist initiative comprises of 16 local NPOs: Arc Children’s Centre, Beyond Social Services, Blessings in a Bag, Children’s Wishing Well, Club Rainbow (Singapore), Engineering Good, Fei Yue, Glyph Community, New Hope Community Services, Singapore Red Cross, SHINE Children and Youth Services, Singapore Children’s Society, The Singapore Association for the Deaf (SADeaf), SOSD, The Food Bank Singapore, and Willing Hearts.
Each NPO’s wishlist is an updated depository of items which their beneficiaries currently need most and works as a self-serve tool—at no cost to NPOs—to inform customers what the NPOs need and their quantity. This minimises instances of mismatched items being donated to NPOs or the need to drop them off physically while offering the same vast selection, convenient shopping experience, and great prices that customers have come to expect from Amazon.sg.
