A quaint library with a nostalgic vibe. Probably one of the best I've been to which is very conducive for reading despite its location being out of the way. 4 stars for me which is well worth the visit.

Love this library. Been going there since I was a little girl! There are old pictures of the library along the staircase with the activities conducted in the 70s and 80s. Brings back memories....

A wonderful place to read and unwind by grabbing a book from Singapore's oldest public library! A wonderful place to spend an afternoon at!

Quite a nice library. Only issue is the parking.

TL;DR: An anomaly, and a sanctuary. Love their "Memories" wall along the stairs. Good collection.
REVIEW: An anomaly because it's a bridge between the past and present, the old and the unbuilt ultra-modern. There's nothing left in the area of the old pre-millenium era, but Queenstown library still stands, proud. A sanctuary because once inside, it's so tranquil- try the reading room upstairs, towards the back of the library. 😊 Their collections are also pretty good- I can get books here not found in other libraries. Also nostalgic, I remember library cards (the tiny "folders", remember?), card catalogs pre-dating the OPAC, the activities they used to host for kids at the library.
WISH: This is the oldest public library and the only library to be in URA’s conserved building list. I hope the powers-that-be realise what a historical gem this is, and don't demolish it in the name of "renewal". You can't "renew" our society's rich past. 😐 I mean its a part of the Queenstown heritage trail!

Nice quiet library. With cafeteria and lots of children books. Good to study here. The only lacking is carpark.

This is a library that is very close to my heart. I used to study graphic design at Temasek Polytechnic, and at that time in 1997, the campus was still at Stirling Road. I spent a lot of time just thinking through my ideas here. It's a quiet, beautiful spot to read, to reflect on things.

Totally recommend. In a two level building which separates the children section with the reading tables and quite zones on the 2nd level. Quiet and cozy. Bring coat because it is freezing.

Not a lot of people come here, so you would usually be able to find a place to sit and do your work/read. Quite a cozy place. 2 buses go there from Commonwealth station. Would totally recommend

Friendly staff. There's a cafe on L1 so you can enjoy a cuppa with your books.
