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, peaceful environment with a well stocked array of books !
Good place to study after school... But if you're not early enough, there will not be enough seats. Level 4 is good.
Nice place to study. Quiet but hard to find seats. Has free Wifi at certain areas of the library
Exchange book outside the library
The architecture here won a design award.

Always here for the kids selection instead of AMK
I found it not really quiet and quite noisy ... People talking around,not really comfortable like NLB in Bras Basah,no library feeling
Knowledge Knowledge And More Knowledge :-)
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.
Best place
Level four is where teens should go!

Really quiet and many people tend to fall asleep here. - Vanessa Chan
Pros: nice ambience, $4 long black, power outlets. Cons: expensive, small servings, no normal tea, some fusion mixes don’t go like the Thai basil with croissant. - Elizabeth Koh
The sirlion steak in Hans restaurant ground floor is good & economical. - Bernard Leong
Love the Singapore national library. Terrific collection of books and a wonderful environment - Savio Sebastian
A nice place to sit, relax and read a book. The interior is nicely design. Would be really good if they have bigger space with more tables for reading, writing and working. - Alex Ho
