National Library Building

An iconic building whichever junction you are admiring it from

You can bring reference books from any levels of the Reference Library to any other levels. Just use the staircase located at the left end (upon entry) of the Reference Library at your level.

The 11th floor has the Southeast Asian book collection. A very good amount of books !

Hi to the 11th floor and you will have a good free view over the city .

This place is best to study. With its spacious surroundings and comfortable seating areas, you can spend the whole day camping here. At leas that's what I am doing

Wow, racial and status discriminations flying all over the toxic work place~ even external vendors get scrutinised like criminals? Thank you NLB for opening my eyes

Good for reference and self study. Got Internet too so you can refer to some sites like wiki even if you don't have your personal lap top. And normal books at level B1..

Gigantic library and lots of activity here, especially for kids ^_^ modern 24 hrs. drop book kios

If you want to check the courses and programs offered at ESSEC, the French business school, go to their reception on 13th floor

patrons need to be more considerate and only occupy the seats when needed. most of the seats are reserved with their belongings leaving others with no seats

Good place to enjoy reading books and cool down.

Distinctive architecture in this place. Don't miss it.

who needs to buy books . upper levels have more industry-specific books .

Best library I ever visited in Singapore

Check the library website for events/talks and book online for events on the top floor, named "The Pod". Excellent view (including the toilet ) and its free! Read more

Hanis is a nice open air cafe on the ground floor.

They have security checking bags so do not bring in any food or related stuff into the library .

Get few books borrowed at B1 then proceed to study room at level 5 or 7 for a peace of mind

TradeHero.mobi - financial learning and trading tip mobile app platform !

Interesting exhibit of magazines!

Finance students should hang out at level 7. Fantastic collection over here.

As per the tip about the toilets , the upper levels are way nicer. Borrow a book to while you are at it

All-time favorite drink - Avocado Shake at Hanis Cafe . Less than $5 and one of the best Avocado drinks around, not too sweet, just nice!

Many books to borrow

Watch out for very interesting cultural exhibits . This is a haven for those who love to read and study.

Nice cafe , but pricey

Must see when you come to Singapore! Impressing!

Queue outside the Study Lounge before they open to get a seat! :) it's more crowded during the weekends too.

lvl 8 is a reference library , not for primary school students to do their home works!

Study lounge at 5th floor. Quiet , good air on, nice view outside.

Open at 930 morning. Make sure u queue up morning 830 or else u won't get seat. Especially sat and sun

A great place to wind down and chill out

You can borrow DVD's at B1

library staff are friendly and helpful... Have questions? Ask them! (@level 11)

Books , books books

Try the ham & eggs at Hanis.

Go to Level 5, where they have a Study Lounge for people who wants to read, work on their assignments or to go online with their laptops.

An amazing building! I am coming here more often. It's great!

The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho. A book that leaves a life enhancing shift in ones perception on life. An ease to read.

Toilets here are pretty awesome. Totally worth a visit here.

There is a sand garden at B1.

Wah! A few days late return must pay $2.70? tai lang phang huay ah!

Check the exhibit schedules and visit 7th floor for good marketing books

plenty of steak not much sizzle

The view of the city is spectacular.

Come here 10 mins early before the opening hours and hear the sweet message from the PA system.

There's a book cover art exhibition on level 7!

Wanna borrow stuff? Go to b1: central public library . Has the largest fiction and literary arts collection out of the 20+ other libraries .

No point coming early... There will still be lots of people! Come earlier!!!

Library is big...but wonder y only level 5 is study lounge and it will super small >.<
