The ReadSG Challenge has been ongoing since 6 September 2026. But if you’re not familiar, you might be wondering what this challenge is exactly about.
Don’t worry, because we have done a breakdown for you so you can join the challenge as soon as possible and not miss out on all the rewards and prizes involved!
How the ReadSG Challenge works
The ReadSG Challenge is the National Library Board’s (NLB) national reading initiative that aims to encourage Singaporeans to “rediscover the joy of reading through a simple daily reading habit”. The ‘challenge’ in question is simply to read for 15 minutes every day and build that daily rhythm.
After each reading session, you can log it via CrowdTaskSG’s website, contributing to NLB’s Read for Good charity drive at the same time.
To begin, click ‘Join quest’ on this page and log in with your Singpass account. The first thing you will want to do is find out your Reading Flavour through a simple personality quiz. You will then receive personalised book recommendations based on your results. Will you be a Kueh Lapis, Kulfi, Tang Yuan or Ang Ku Kueh like me?
No matter which personality type you are, it does not matter, as long as you start reading! You can immediately access your Daily Reading Log on CrowdTaskSG and complete your daily reading task.
Other than building a reading habit and contributing to a good cause, you will also earn rewards along the way. For every daily reading session logged, you will earn 20 coins. Every 1,000 coins accumulated can be converted into S$1 and used at any participating NETS QR merchant.
But that’s not the biggest reward you can get.
Kobo eReader Giveaway
From now until 7 October 2026, completing 15 reading sessions will give you a chance to win a Kobo Clara Colour eReader (worth S$259.90). As long as you successfully meet the 15-session criteria, you will automatically be entered into this Lucky Draw; no separate registration is required.
Start the ReadSG Challenge on the same day this article was published, and you will have more than enough time. Will you be 1 out of 8 lucky winners? Results will be announced on 14 October 2026.
If you miss the first Lucky Draw’s qualifying period, a second one will commence from 8 October 2026 to 30 November 2026. This time, the prize you stand a chance to win is a Kobo Libra Colour eReader (worth S$369.90). Compared to the Clara Colour, this device has a larger screen, twice the storage capacity, and physical page-turn buttons.
To enter this Lucky Draw, you will need to log 30 reading sessions within the qualifying period and not have won in the first Lucky Draw. 7 winners will be announced on 6 January 2027 and will receive their new Libra Colour.
Big Book Giveaway 2026
If reading more books was one of your New Year’s resolutions and you haven’t really started (ahem, talking from personal experience), now’s a great opportunity! In fact, you can kickstart your reader’s journey this weekend with the Big Book Giveaway (BBG).
This annual community event by NLB is happening on 19 & 20 September 2026, inviting visitors to bring home pre-loved books from its public library collections, free of charge. If you’d like, you can also bring your own books to share with others.
BBG will take place from 10am to 4pm at the National Library Building’s Level 1 Plaza, and you can take back with you a maximum of 10 books. Checking in at this event will also earn you 20 bonus coins on CrowdTaskSG. Find out more here.
It’s time to fall in love with reading again.
