Garfield x Mr Kiasu pop-up library has opened at The Centrepoint and will be there from from 23 October 2023 till March 2024. The Garfield x Mr Kiasu pop-up library is NLB’s first-ever character-themed pop-up library, and has been set up in partnership with Mr Kiasu’s co-creator Mr Johnny Lau, media and entertainment company Paramount Global, and Frasers Property Singapore.
Those who pop into the pop-up library can look forward to borrowing a specially curated collection of e-titles and comics for reading within the library. The 614 sqft Garfield x Mr Kiasu pop-up library at Centrepoint is the final activation as part of Paramount’s year-round events across Asia, celebrating the lasagna-loving feline’s 45th anniversary.
Aside from Garfield e-comics, a variety of e-books on related topics such as cooking, leisure, and wellness, will also be made available for loan via QR codes found on wall features at the pop-up library. In addition, visitors can browse a physical curated collection of around 120 Mr Kiasu and Garfield comic books. The books are donated by Mr Lau, the co-creator of Mr Kiasu, and the Global Publishing arm of Paramount respectively.
