SMALL AND LOCAL IS VIABLE

Published On: October 17, 2025Categories: Community

At the casual poet library in Singapore you can rent a bookshelf and curate your own little space as a way to contribute and support the library.

The thing I love about this is you don’t need a million followers on TikTok for it to work. A spot like just needs 50-100 people in the area who love the space and the mission to pay SGD$565 per year to rent a bookshelf.

On top of that, library members pay a yearly fee to borrow five books a month.

Today’s thinking is “how can I get everyone on the internet to care?” Or, “how do I find my audience on the noisy internet?”

Instead, can we imagine our mission on a smaller scale, without the need for viral attention?
