READING RULES
There are about 25 libraries dotted across Singapore, but we’ve
found two that are purpose-designed just for kids. The
Early
Literacy Library
located within Jurong Regional Library has
60,000 books for kids under six years, plus regular story-telling
and activity sessions. Meanwhile, the world’s first green library
for kids, My Tree House, at the
Central Public Library
in Victoria
Street, contains 45,000 books in four languages for kids aged
four to 12. Almost a third of the books focus on “green” topics,
including animals, plants, nature, water, weather and climate
change.

BUS
TRACKER
MyBusMate
is a
new child-safety
app for parents and
schools to easily
monitor children’s
commutes. The one-
stop information hub
links parents, schools
and bus operators with approximate bus locations to
reduce waiting time, ensure safety and simplify attendance-
tracking. MyBusMate is rolling out to 15 schools in the
coming months.
