Library is actually segregated in 2 different locations (aka Children and Adults sections) on the same level and their enterance face each other
The entire layout looks simplistic, open space and feels very conducive for reading and revising homework.

Modern design. Small but cozy. Not enough spaces for study zone.

Many more seating areas compared to before renovation. There's even mobile charging points where you can sit on a chair and plug in your USB cable/wall charger.
This isn't your typical traditional library, and the new designs has certainly incorporated the needs of the current generations.

The adults section doesn't have enough seats and was always fully occupied. There is only 3 charging sockets in the whole library, I noticed there are other sockets but they locked it for some reason.

Love the renovation and design. Compared to other libraries I've visited across the island, I love how this library is separated into two parts – one for children and one for adults. This allows adults to have a quieter area, as the children's library is on the other end.
The children's library is nicely designed for kids. I simply love it, and so do my kids. Thank you, National Library!

Love the cleanliness and the very cosy and quiet environment for stressful minds to calm themselves. They have a good selection of easy-to-read books. Especially on menopause, Singapore history, and the latest books from UK doctors regarding illnesses and issues. Their Chinese books are good to read, with a good variety. I was reading one Chinese AunKle Angonie book. It was really very funny.
The author is so direct, and the words are not too 'cheem'. I thought I was reading some teenage magazines, but in older Chinese language.
No photos. For privacy purposes.
