Reviews
Quiet and nice environment for reading. Aircon is strong too! Love the layout along the window.
Remember to book a seat in advance if you need a table and power point for charging. And checkin 15min before your time slot. Only 4 hours per booking per nlb account.
Bookings apply to all national library.
Nicely built and renovated, added quite many switch socket outlets for laptops studying.
They had this ramp from first storey to second stoery.
To use a table, you need to reserve it from NLB and membership registration plus annual fee costs more than S$50. Yet you can sit on a sofa chair. Wifi is only available with a Wireless@SG account. To get an account you need a local number...
Foreigners better find a Starbucks for working.
Just a stone's throw away from Bishan MRT station, this 5-level (basement to 4th floor) library is a nice place of solitude from the hustle and bustle of the nearby mall.
Each level does not have a large foot print but laid out well with amble seating area and little nooks framed by its iconic colored glass.
There is also a cafe at the basement if you have a sudden craving for snacks or drinks.
Quiet, spacious and light-filled Library with areas to sit comfortable and read, or study with your laptop and books spread out on the upper floors (3rd and 4th).
Also a nice Café, Kings Cart Coffee, on the ground floor, serving up great coffee, teas and food.
Constructive feedback and improvements - I found myself wishing that there were more power points beside all, or certainly the majority of desks rather than only one or two.
Other visitors rushed to secure the best seat/s as soon as the Library opened, those with power points. Leaving their personal belongings on those specific desks to 'save' their spot. Even when they were away for coffee/lunch etc. It would be great to see this addressed and improved to ensure the best experience for all guests and visitors.
Good place! With food court downstairs and Junction 8 next to it. Next to MRT station. But WIFI is not stable.
Liked this library as it is very well placed near Bishan interchange and junction 8. Very well maintained with wide selection of books.
My favorite place to go, Bishan National Library. One of the most comfortable place to read books & look for articles i.e. documentaries & movie DVD. It has a unique design & space. Mobile charging stations also available
