About this event

Chou Sing Chu Foundation (CSCF) School Library Sponsorship Programme 2020

Treasures can be found in books, and libraries are a paradise for students to obtain a wealth of knowledge. School libraries are well- loved places that students frequently visit. They are a veritable learning paradise where students are immersed in a host of exciting resources.

  • We assist schools in getting the best Chinese children books from Singapore, Malaysia, China, Taiwan and Hong Kong.
  • Selections are tailored / customised according to the different levels and needs of the students
  • We provide suggestions/recommendations to schools in organising other concurrent events/activities to further interest growth in the language.
OVERVIEW
