Severely limited table-based seating. Only 22 available (some with power source). Not suitable if u nd to do research work or a lot of writing. Rest of the seating are just chairs & sofas
This branch focuses on Chinese Arts & Culture . Interesting that the shelves are arranged such that English books are arranged in the adjacent row to Chinese books of the same topic. That's useful!
Take note of their exceptions for closing times: Closed on public hols; 5pm on eve of Christmas , New Year & Chinese/Lunar New Year
Entry to library(on Level 4) only via level 3 at the circular wing of Chinatown Point. Taking the escalator or lift at the other "rectangular" wing will only lead to carpark on Level 4.
If you like Chinese History, Literature, Language , Cuisine etc this is the place to check it out. There's children play corner too. Air conditioning is kinda brr… cold though.
Children's section (both Chinese and English language books ) located at the furthest end of the library (which has an elongated layout).
library@chinatown officially opened on Thursday, 31 Jan 2013. By the Acting Minster for Culture , Community and Youth and Senior Minister of State , Ministry of Communications and Information.

Predominantly a library focused on Chinese related stuff. Good respite in Chinatown.
Notice: The libraries will be closed in the morning of 21 February 2013 for a staff event . Do visit from 2pm onwards.
The most quiet children section I have been. Occupied by students and elderly.
cozy place, ideal for working. public access
I would like to spend time at here to have a relaxing moment.
More seats are designed for reading than for studying. Very limited chairs with tables are in the area.
Really new... Not suitable for babies and toddlers, no selection here. They still have empty shelves and most are related to the Chinese culture . Beware!
THERE IS NO FREE PUBLIC WIFI AT THE LIBRARY !!!!
