library@harbourfront replaces the Bukit Merah Public Library

The new library at VivoCity replaces the Bukit Merah Public Library along Jalan Bukit Merah. The present library at Bukit Merah will have its last day of operations on Friday, 30 November 2018 and be closed from Saturday, 1 December 2018 onwards.

To continue serving the needs of Bukit Merah residents, the National Library Boards has set up 12 reading corners in the area with over 5,000 books and 250 seats available.

“The corners offer residents in the Bukit Merah area convenient access to reading resources at familiar locations,” said Mrs Elaine Ng, CEO of National Library Board. “We worked with grassroots and community leaders of Bukit Merah to find suitable spots to host our books, so that residents can easily access a wide range of reading materials,” she added.

In the lead up to the opening of the new library at VivoCity, residents will also be able to take part in special preview tours to view the new library’s features. More information on these tours will be made available in November 2018.

Looks like there will be one more reason to hang out at VivoCity in 2019.
