library@orchard

If you're visiting Orchard Road , make this place your #1 spot. Even if you're not a book lover, the library is worth a visit. Be mindful that it is still a library . Don't disturb others.

Newly opened and nicely designed library that spans 2 floors. Focus is in Design which is great! Wish there are more seats/ lounges around though. Not enough!

Not a big library but it's well equipped and stocked with many books . Very high tech and modern. Great interiors. Friendly staff . Superb!

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.

There is no children's section here. So don't bring your young children here! This means no screaming kids and babies! So this is good for anyone looking for peace and quiet .

Beautifully designed little library with a wide array of literature, from design to magazines . I particularly like their [modern] fiction selection. Great peaceful and quiet spot !

Bookdrop is on Level 4 only. Use the escalator rather than the lift, it's faster. Use the escalator that's on the OCBC bank side for the most direct access.

Pick up your reserved books after payment from the lockers on level 3 at the side. No human interaction needed.

The table with charging points is on the lower floor only. Quiet and futuristic. Interesting reading spaces. And of course, free books !

The kiddo wanted to come here to seat in the Cocoon chair and read a book , as mentioned by his school teacher . The children books section is at level 4.

A very comprehensive collection of books for visual arts , advertising, communications & graphic design! Love the layout and furniture used, very contemporary .

A very Hadid flow felt in the bookshelves. Interiors and organised accountancy of books , are hugely calming .

Quiet and nice place. You can come there if you seek special book . Also good for do your own stuff in silence.

Cool space to work/study out of. Has a good selection of books and periodicals

Very stylish library in the middle of Orchard road .

Borrowing process is a breeze now using NLB Mobile app. You can scan and go, without using the kiosk.

There are quite a few cozy corners for one to pick up a book , sit and read :)

Unique shelving for the magazines . And being lib@orchard, all the hipster magazines are borrowed out.

I was hoping to find a quiet place to sit and read but officially you're not allowed to do that—only if it's a book from the library . The view is nice though.

Go early at 11am (when it opens) to secure your space at the working table.

Finally found Orchard @ Library at level 4, hidden at a corner opposite Sake Sushi .

Condition quite comfy , but hard to find a seat . Is good for who come for reading , but not for studying .

A very pretty library with a Great Wall of magazines welcoming guests.

The beat option for personal time in this busy city :)

sophisticated library with plenty of seats available!

variety of magazines !

Lack of table in this library . You may consider to National Library main branch for it.

If provided free wifi will be better !

Now opened at level 3 & level 4 from Thursday, 23 October 2014. ????????????????????

this must be what libraries of the future will be like

A place for design students.

Not much people here. Lots of magazines . Good place to chill .

It's back. Used to be at Ngee Ann. Now@better.

Nice place!

A wide range of good design books .
