More Tips
You can sign your child up online using your Singpass if:
- Your child is a Singaporean or Permanent Resident, and
- Your child is born in Singapore
Do note that:
- If your child is a PR and a student at a MOE school, he/she is eligible for a waiver on the one-time registration fee. To receive the waiver, sign up for library membership at the libraries instead of online.
- If you have more than one child, you can choose to register just one child or all your children at the same time.
You will need a:
- Singpass login ID and password
- [For PRs] Debit/credit card to pay the one-time registration fee of $10.50
In the Libby app, tap on Library -> Explore -> Guide: Kids and scroll down until you see 'I Can Read! Series Read-Alongs' and 'Read-Alongs'.
Both types of interactive eBooks feature professionally-recorded narration that plays along while you read. The animated picture books in Tumblebook Library are fully-animated videos whilst the 'Read-alongs' in Libby are more like eBooks with the words highlighted as they are read.
