　　To encourage the young people in Singapore to read widely， our government builds many libraries and holds reading campaigns yearly. There are many books in the library. There are non-fiction books and fiction books， reference books and magazines. Books provide knowledge about the world we live in. Reading is a good way of knowing the happenings in the world and the people around us. We gain a better understanding of people of different cultures and their customs. It is good to cultivate the habit of reading as knowledge is power. It also enables one to speak and write better.
