This five-storey haven for bookworms recently opened in Punggol – one of the youngest estates in Singapore. This library includes several features like the Toy Library, which encourages children to engage in sensory play, Calm Pods, accessible collections, assistive technology devices throughout the library, and an entire floor dedicated to learning more about cutting-edge technology.
The Study Zone and Teenspace is dedicated to hosting workshops and talks centred on reading. There’s also an immersive showcase of the latest technologies for people to learn more about artificial intelligence (AI), and how to operate machines through a collaboration with Amazon Web Services (AWS). On top of these, entrepreneurs and business owners can utilise Launch, a space for masterclasses by industry experts,networking sessions and upskilling workshops. There are also working and meeting pods, doubling it up as a co-working space.
Children are not left out either – kids ages 6 and below can spend their time at the Toy Library and TinkerTots where they can learn through play. Older youths can immerse themselves in reading materials from around the world at the World and Us Zone. The library also features inclusive and accessible features for people with disabilities such as the accessible collection’s inclusion of braille texts and phonic readers at Level 1 and assistive technology devices.
