The National Library is one of the new landmark buildings in Singapore. This library can see a lot of trendy decorations. The library has a lot of books. It is a huge modern facility with perfect book lending procedures.
The National Library is very large, and the facilities here are not only advanced, but also very user-friendly. It is in the center of the city and the traffic is particularly convenient. When you go in, there are many people inside and you have not taken pictures.
Recommended weekends. The National Library is suitable for all ages, especially the children's reading area on the first floor. Walking in is like shuttled through the rainforest in the picture book. The reading atmosphere in Singapore is pretty good.
The National Library of Singapore, located on Victoria Street, Singapore, was found through google maps. The National Library of Singapore is currently one of the largest and most advanced libraries in Southeast Asia. You can enter the library to read books, but you can't borrow a book card. The library lending area has a paper library area, electronic reading area and newspaper area, many Chinese books, the content is relatively wide, and there are various small white novels, uh uh~~~ It is really a small white text, kill time to relax. The newspaper is fixed on the desktop and looks very convenient. I really like his children's library, dreamy fairy tale theme design, all kinds of reasonable design, how can children not love reading here? I spent two or three hours in the library, and the time passed quickly, and it was quite interesting to just flip through books and read newspapers.
The National Library of Singapore is one of the largest and most advanced libraries in Southeast Asia. It was founded in 1823 by Singapore founder Sir Raffles, which was converted into a public library in 1960 and was rebuilt in 2005. The library inside is very rich, the space is very wide, the floor is covered with blankets, the seats are very comfortable, sitting by the floor-to-ceiling windows in the reading area, blowing the air-conditioning and reading quietly, and you can overlook the scattered city scenery when you are tired. I come here often to read books, although this library is rich in books, centrally located and clean, but some aspects still need to be improved - there are many readers, especially older people, despite signs telling readers not to take the library as a place to take a nap, It seems that the library is a place for lunch breaks with free air conditioning, depriving people who really want to come to the library to read/research. When I last came, a whole row of armchairs were removed, which meant fewer seats. I hope the library will take steps so that those who really want to read can find seats/spaces:) One of the highlights of the library is the setting up of a book exchange in the basement. Thank you so much for doing this! It would be nice if other libraries had such a place.

The library is large in scale, with a building of 16 floors. The equipment inside is very advanced, the space is wide, and the seats are very comfortable. There is a place to store luggage. The library will hold various activities from time to time, and there is a special area for children to play. The collection is rich, foreign books, newspapers and magazines are very complete, the staff is very enthusiastic to help, the scene also provides computer access, there is a restaurant inside, tired, you can also go to have a cup of coffee, eat a light meal, supplement energy.
