" I have only one day visiting during the Singapore trip.
07 May 2018this is absolutely the good place highly recommended for people to read a book and concentrate without suffering from any other noisy chatting unpleasure sound disturbance.
from my observation, most of the people who come here to use this place quite always respect the regulation and avoid disturbing each other, speak very softly to each other.
this kind of gentle manner is quite difficult to find in some other societies (base on my own experience).
Honestly, this is very big surprised, impressive and amazing for the outsider person like me, "

" This is the main National Library. The basement has the books for borrowing. The children’s section has a treehouse designed with wood and recycled plastic. The treehouse looks colourful and children love playing and reading there.

" I love library especially great ones. This is a library which I can spend a whole day while enjoying every moments. Numerous quality books here for you to read. Admission is freije to locals or tourists.
28 March 2018They would check your bag if you enter the reference library on 7th floor. I don't know what that's for. Preventing thiefs from stealing books? Actually this is the only times my bags was checked in Singapore. I'm glad that Singaporeans don't check bags so often like the Filipinos anyway! "

26 March 2018There’s a kids area so that you can give your child a good opportunity to read in a quiet place and learn together;)

" A perennial favourite that is very well maintained. Most tourists are impressed by the efficiency & effectiveness. A portion of the red brick wall from the old library is retained for memory, in a sterile-looking building. Great location. "

" Great variety of books as its the national library. I recommend staying away from going during weekends because the place is really crowded and you may not even get a seat "

" The building is a modern jewel of architecture. Large spaces to read, study and stay. It has also a theatre inside, go and take a visit to its several floors "
21 May 2017Samuel Hou
" So this is the place to go for research gathering and literatures. The amount of materials they have are beyond imaginations. A really well ran place too with bag checks and constant reminders for noisy patrons. They do not deal with noise lightly which provides everyone with a conducive environment for their study. If you are here to revise for an exam or just a place to study, come at opening or you will find yourself without a seat and table in no time. "

" There is a foolproof counter staff named Shamala manning a phone. Who has little common sense or courtesy to write a written complaint to Avert the oncoming tragedy that is befall as foretold by a discharged patient under the care of two shopkeepers and school vans. I give the national library service a poor service commendation. And demand to be compensated herewith. "
08 May 2017Chang Zuhe
" The building is damn big with a lot of collection of books. I love it all and the environment is quite and clean "
06 May 2017Katia Sorokina
" This building is so big, I've only been to the 9th floor but it is the best place to study. Everybody is focused and there is no noise, you can hear the flies haha. However, it can be crowded especially on weekends...so if you want to have a spot you'd better come early. But anyway it's my go to place when I need to study!
11 April 2017PS: if you manage to sit next to the windows the view is amazing! "
Samuel Edyson
" The best public library. Used to come here alot. Didn't know that schools & universities can host graduation / exhibition events here too. Lots of cozy seatings, but must stay quiet and not be noisy. This is not a suitable place for group work. "

" How do you increase the value of your comic book series?
10 July 2016Notice the beautifully integrated display of pictures on the book spine of the encyclopaedia on display on the shelf?
Answer: Yes. It is beautiful.
To sell comic books better; create an art piece (picture) on the book spine of the comic book that requires the purchase of several titles to form an image instead of having one picture on each title.
Would that encourage readers to keep on buying more comic books?
Answer: Yes.
Would that make keeping and displaying comic books on your shelf aesthetically pleasing and would impress your friends?
Answer: Yes.
Benefits / Opportunities:
1) Generate Collectors interest from a visual way instantly (from looking at the book spine)
2) The collection of the comic series is an art piece by itself when placed on the shelves (looking at the art on the book spine)
3) Low cost and Low effort to implement
4) Creates curiosity and desire to purchase next title
5) There is no patent as you can design your art
6) If It works in the sale of the encyclopaedia in the photo A, there must be research, reasoning and justification done before the manufacturing of the encyclopaedia.-------------Improve Library Books Borrowing Time "

" The largest library in Singapore and a great place to study or read a book. Plenty of places to sit down, though power points might be a little scarce. I'd advice bring an adapter if you intend to use the computer. There is wifi here too! "
