Not all people can afford to buy expensive books. There are Sending libraries where people, old and young, can borrow books if they are members. The largest library in Singapore is the National Library at Stamford Road. More than thousands of books can be found. Most of them are English books although there are also some Chinese and Malay readers.

You can borrow books from the library if you are a member. To be a member you have to pay a certain fee. After you have paid the fee, you are given a card and you can use this card to borrow books for three weeks at a time.

Students do not need to pay membership fee. All they need is a letter from their school principals and they can become members of the library. For those who live far away there are extension (扩大) libraries at Toa Payoh, Queenstown and other places which also have books for readers to borrow.

Reading is a good habit as it can increase our knowledge and improve our language.
