There are even special studios for cooking and music
Why do you go to a library? To read and borrow books, study, or just enjoy the cool air-con with your family and friends? Our Singapore public libraries are great for all that, and so much more. With dedicated spaces and classes for certain hobbies, and vibrant designs to engage the littlest readers, each library has something special. To celebrate the new opening of library@harbourfront, we've selected our favourite public libraries and highlight why you should visit them soon, if you haven't already.
4. Bishan Public Library – For private pods and beautiful architecture
Buzzfeed named Bishan Public Library one of 49 most breathtaking libraries in the world! The critics concur, presenting the local designers, LOOK Architects, with the International Architecture Award in 2009, for this project. We’re all captivated by the cantilevering stained glass pods protruding from the four-storey building façade, providing visitors a private nook for reading or studying with a beautiful view. The stained glass panels also block out the glare of the sun when it hits that side of the building. A perfect hideout for quiet reflection, like your own tree house!
