SINGAPORE - Singapore residents can now donate a book to a community reading space in south-west Singapore and earn five cents in return.

Share-Your-Book @ South West, an initiative by the South West Community Development Council , aims to encourage donation of books to the 14 community libraries and reading corners in the district and give old books a new lease of life.

If these books are deemed desirable by any of the community libraries or reading corners, donors can then take their books to the location to claim recycling points. This latest initiative is part of a series of sustainability measures introduced by the council, driving the district to achieve its zero-waste target under the CDC's Sustainable South West Masterplan.

Ms Low said:"Through the years, championing sustainability has become a hallmark of our South-West district and we are committed to doing even more."
