This much-anticipated book event, organised by the National Library Board, promises a weekend of literary treasures, all available for free. Here’s everything you need to know about this exciting community event.
What is the Big Book Giveaway 2024?
The Big Book Giveaway 2024 is an annual event that celebrates the joy of reading and sharing. Over the course of two days, from Saturday, 31 August to Sunday, 1 September 2024, five public libraries across Singapore will open their doors to book lovers looking to snag some free pre-loved books. This event is not only a chance to pick up new reading material but also an opportunity to contribute to a community cause by sharing your own books.
Event Details and Locations
Date: Saturday, 31 August 2024 – Sunday, 1 September 2024
Time: 11 am – 5 pm each day
Venues:
- Central Public Library
- Jurong Regional Library
- Punggol Regional Library
- Tampines Regional Library

During these two days, visitors will have the opportunity to browse and pick up pre-loved books at these designated libraries. The event is designed to be accessible and enjoyable, with ample time to explore the selection and find those hidden literary gems.
How Does the Giveaway Work?
The process is simple: visitors are allowed to browse for 10 minutes and can pick up up to 5 books per person, provided they are available. Books are distributed on a first-come, first-served basis, so early arrival is recommended to maximise the selection. This initiative is a wonderful way to recycle books that might otherwise gather dust on your shelves, while also discovering new reads.
Why You Should Attend
- Access to Free Books: The most appealing aspect of the Big Book Giveaway is the opportunity to get books for free. Whether you’re a student, a casual reader, or a dedicated bibliophile, there’s something for everyone. From fiction and non-fiction to children’s books and more, you’re bound to find a treasure trove of reading material.
- Support a Good Cause: This event is not just about collecting books. It’s also about giving back to the community. By bringing your own pre-loved books, you contribute to a culture of sharing and sustainability. This helps to keep books circulating and available to those who might otherwise have difficulty accessing them.
