Launched in 2014, the MTL Reading Festival targets readers of all age groups to read more MTL books and to promote NLB’s MTL collections. This year, the festival’s theme is “Retracing our Roots”.

NUS Tamil Language Society will be collaborating and partnering with National Library Board to organise a poetry slam. The event aims to introduce writings and poems of our local Singaporean Tamil writers with a musical twist to participants.

Admission to all programmes is free. However, registration is required. Registration can be completed at library eKiosks, or on www.nlb.gov.sg/golibrary (search for related programmes using the term [MTL Read Fest’16]).
