Singapore's National Library Board Tests Micropayments to Boost Reading

Original: Singapore’s National Library Board offers micropayments to build reading habits

Singapore's National Library Board is offering micropayments to encourage people to read more books and spend less time on their phones. The programme aims to build reading habits by rewarding users directly, prompting debate online about whether small financial incentives can genuinely change behaviour or trivialise the value of reading.

Why now: Paying citizens to read is an unusual approach to screen-time concerns, drawing attention and debate.
