The Book Council is a non-profit umbrella body inaugurated in February 1969 to promote reading and writing and to bring the book industry and literary community together through social events, courses, seminars, conferences and author lectures.
We are the organisers of the prestigious Singapore Literature Prize, the NBDCS Book Awards and the National Reading Month. We initiated the Festival of Books and Book Fair in 1969 and with Reed Exhibitions launched the International Library Expo (ILE) in 1998.
Our members comprise a large number of public and private agencies, representing cultural, educational, library, printing, publishing, bookselling and writers' associations and institutions. There is also a core group of individual members who bring with them knowledge and expertise of their various specialised fields.
Sunlight dances through the leaves Soft winds stir the sighing trees Lying in the warm grass Feel the sun upon your face Elven songs and endless nights Sweet wine and soft relaxing lights Time will never touch you Here in this enchanted place You feel there's something calling you You're wanting to return To where the misty mountains rise and friendly fires burn A place you can escape the world Where the dark lord cannot go Peace of mind and sanctuary by loud water's flow
I've traveled now for many miles It feels so good to see the smiles of Friends who never left your mind When you were far away From the golden light of coming dawn Till the twilight where the sun is gone We treasure every season And every passing day
We feel the coming of a new day Darkness gives way to light a new way Stop here for a while until the world, The world calls you away Yet you know I've had the feeling Standing with my senses reeling This is the place to grow old 'til I reach my final day.
