ABSTRACT
The National Library Board (NLB) nurtures Readers for Life, Learning Communities and a Knowledgeable Nation by promoting reading, learning and history through its network of 26 public libraries, the National Library and the National Archives of Singapore. The Content and Services for Children and Teens department under NLB is responsible for tailor-making activities and programmes devoted to children and teenagers, with the aim to promote reading and learning among the young generation. NLB promotes reading, learning and information literacy by providing a trusted, accessible and globally connected library and information service through the National Library and a comprehensive network of public libraries. Competencies for children and teen librarians are diverse and go beyond learning traditional library skills to include those that are non-library-related such as design thinking, coding, and data analytics. Libraries have come up with different initiatives to provide access to collection and services remotely to users.
