Well, from 27 October 2026 to 19 September 2027, this beloved gang is going to stay in our minds for a while with the Snoopy Pop-up Library at Plaza Singapura! 

My colleague and I dropped by to check out the space and felt like we stepped into the world of Peanuts. If you’re a Snoopy fan or a parent who wants to spark your child’s interest in reading, you’ll love it even more!

Peanuts Brought to Life

The first thing you will notice at this pop-up is reading corners inspired by classic Peanuts comic strips and scenes. I had almost forgotten that these characters first existed in newspapers, but it’s nice to see this pop-up paying homage to their origins.

You can visit a familiar bus stop, hop onto the Peanuts School Bus for a photo with Snoopy, hang out at the Snoopy Garden, or read some books with the friendly beagle in Charlie Brown’s Classroom. 

If you’re a Peanuts fan, you will have fun spotting references and also find how they are incorporated into the library charming and fitting.

Some of you might be wondering whether this pop-up is only for kids and their parents. Good news for all the adult Snoopy fans – it’s not! A huge part of the library, made up of about 10,000 physical and digital books, is catered to children. However, there is also a collection suitable for all ages.

Visitors will discover popular Peanuts titles, as well as other books specially curated by the National Library & Archives Board (NLB). 

Lucy’s Book Recommendations

If you’re spoilt for choice and need some book recommendations, head over to Lucy’s Booth. Simply answer a few fun questions to find the perfect book for you. Fortunately, consulting Lucy is completely free of charge (not even 5 cents), and you can even print out your Reading Prescription in the form of a physical bookmark!

These bookmarks contain personalised recommendations based on your mood (answers) and will even direct you to parts of the library where you can find them. At the same time, they double as keepsakes that will remind you of your time at the Snoopy Library and inspire you to read more.  

Entering & Borrowing

The Snoopy Pop-up Library is fully self-service. To enter, you will need to scan a library-compliant ID such as your NRIC card, Singpass, or Student Card; NLB eCards are also accepted. Otherwise, you may also scan a QR code at the entrance for a day pass.

Once you’ve found your perfect read, you will need to borrow it using the NLB Mobile app. For a smooth experience, it is highly recommended that you download the app from the App Store or Google Play Store prior to your visit and make sure you’re an NLB member.

Meet & Greet

One final note for the biggest fans – Meet & Greet sessions with Snoopy, Charlie and Lucy will take place at 11am, 2pm, and 4pm daily, from 7 to 9 November 2026. If you’d like to catch them for photos, mark down those dates!

Head down to the Snoopy Pop-up Library at Level 3 of Plaza Singapura for timeless stories, familiar faces, and a fun getaway. As Snoopy would say, “Happiness is a good book.”

The post A Free Weekend for Craft Lovers – Craft Festival Singapore 2026 appeared first on Confirm Good.

The annual Singapore Writers Festival (SWF) 2026 returns from 13 to 22 November 2026, featuring literary experiences for all you bookworms, mystery lovers, and anyone looking for things to do in November.

If you’re wondering what activities are worth exploring across the different festival venues, we’ve got you covered.

Hidden in Plain Sight

The theme of this year’s SWF is ‘Hidden in Plain Sight’. The festival invites readers, writers, and visitors to look beyond the surface and uncover stories they might otherwise miss. This is especially apparent with the crime-and-mystery-themed programmes at SWF 2026.

One highlight is The Making of a Serial Killer, a panel featuring authors of psychological thriller, mystery, and crime genres. Some of you might recognise one of them, Seo Mi-ae, a South Korean writer known for her award-winning mystery thrillers.

This panel, taking place on 14 November 2026 at Victoria Theatre, will explore the authors’ creative process in creating characters and crafting stories.

If you’d like something more interactive, try an interactive mystery activity on the SWF website – The Verdict is Yours. You will investigate The Case of the Vanishing Diamond, which leads to 10 different conclusions, each submitted by a young writer.

Vote for your favourite and stand a chance to win a 2-day, 1-night stay at The Fullerton Hotel. 

Live Storytelling

Want to experience storytelling with lived experience? Islands of Memories: Stories from the Southern Sea will take you on a coastal walk on 14 November 2026 and 21 November 2026. 

You will hear stories about the Orang Laut and Orang Pulau communities, enjoy a shared meal, and discover histories and stories along the way. This event is ticketed at S$80 and is SG Culture Pass eligible. Find out more and purchase your tickets here.

If you like the idea of gathering around a table for a meal while hearing stories, this one’s for you. The Salon with Jemimah Wei will let you hear from the Singaporean author as she explores topics such as daughterhood and family expectations.

This conversation, based on Jemimah’s debut novel, The Original Daughter, will be held on 19 November 2026 at Kotuwa at New Bahru. Canapes and drinks will be served. Tickets are S$60 and are available to book with SG Culture Pass here.

Festival Passes

If you want to explore a wide range of programmes at SWF 2026, consider purchasing a Festival Pass, which costs S$30 for adults and just S$15 for youths. This pass will give you access to more than 100 selected programmes. Check out what is included here, as some sessions require separate tickets.

Festival Passes can also be purchased using your SG Culture Pass credits, so if you have any left to spare, you know what to do! To explore all programmes at SWF 2026, including both free and ticketed events, visit SWF’s website.

Photo-Audio Walks

One of the most unique experiences at this year’s SIPF is Passing By Paradise: Photo-Audio Walk, open from 16 October 2026 to 29 November 2026. Hidden away in Geylang, you will find installations telling the stories of Geylang residents. 

As you stroll through Geylang’s Lorongs, streets, and alleys, an audio track and images will accompany you. You will also discover photographic installations in local shops, homes, and public spaces that will connect you more deeply with the neighbourhood.

For a guided tour by the artists behind this experience, you can purchase General Tickets at S$25 or Concession Tickets at S$15. If you’d prefer, you can also conduct your own self-guided walk for free. Register and book your time slot here.

Singapore Photography

Of course, since it’s SIPF, one of the main highlights is seeing the works of Singaporean photographers. This includes Singapore Index by acclaimed filmmaker and artist Tan Pin Pin.

For the entire duration of SIPF, visitors to Shop-House by DECK will get to see black-and-white images captured between 1991 and 1992, during a transformational era in our nation.

At Mizuma Gallery at Gillman Barracks, Shifting Images: Photography From Singapore 2000 – 2025 (Image After Image) takes you beyond the 90s into the 2000s. In fact, you will explore over 2 decades of evolution in photography practices. 

Works From Outside Singapore

For those of you who want to set your sights (or lenses) on works from outside Singapore, there are also exhibitions for you. For instance, from 16 October 2026 to 29 November 2026, there are 2 exhibitions at Shop-House by DECK featuring works by Korean photographers.

In the Comfort of All Things spotlights the everyday lives of elderly residents in an old multi-family housing complex, as well as colourful images of a university hospital.

FEM: Women, Lives, and Korean Photobooks presents a collection of photobooks that showcase the diverse experiences of different generations of Korean women. You will see through the eyes of photographers in their twenties, all the way to those in their eighties.

Both exhibitions are open to the public from Wednesday to Sunday, 12pm–7pm.

Talks & Workshops

If you’re a photographer who wants to find inspiration or expand your creative skillset, there is a series of talks and workshops you can sign up for at SIPF too. One interesting session is The Photobook Clinic with Shi Zhen taking place on 24 October 2026.

The 3-hour session invites creatives working on photobook projects to come together for a constructive exchange. Whether they are just starting on their creations or nearing completion, participants will benefit from professional guidance that will help elevate their work.

General Tickets are available at S$130, while Concession Tickets are priced at S$90. If this is your cup of tea, reserve a seat here.

Beyond what is mentioned in this article, SIPF 2026 has much more to offer for creatives and storytellers looking to expand their horizons or sharpen their craft. For a full list of exhibitions, activities, and event venues, visit SIPF’s website.

See you out there, photographers.
