What is unique at this library are the bright coloured pods that stick out of the building. They act as personal spaces, casting green & blue hues of soft light . Some of the bigger ones have sofas

Activities & talks at the library . Look out for monthly list of events held @ the basement Activity Room & Level 2 Programme Zone. Also listed on Eventbrite online. Some require registration

The reading area on level 4 is conducive for studying. Bright & lofty. Power source at each table. There’s a quick charge station for devices nearby. Toilet on same floor. U can reserve a seat online

Printed magazines to read/browse. On level 2, at one quiet corner complete with sofas , there’s a whole room of drawers filled w magazines. In English, Mandarin, Malay & Tamil

Good place to study after school... But if you're not early enough, there will not be enough seats. Level 4 is good.

Aaron Teo

Singapore's notorious public library , where lights in the reading/study room on the second floor are switched off before 8.55 pm—the junior staff want to go home before library users leave at 9.00pm.
