library@harbourfront

Well stocked with variety of books, catering to the very young, the teenagers, the working adults and the seniors. Plenty of desk space and seats available for any visitor who wishes to sit down to do written paper assignments as well as to use their personal electronic devices to complete projects.

I am always a fan of public library built within a mall in Singapore. This location has a beautiful view of the water front and Sentosa and the space has been designed to take advantage of that. While brightly lit, there are several cozy spaces for you to escape into a book. The only "inconvenience" is the lack of electrical outlets or charging stations near seating areas. Pillars with outlets are available. I can understand that setup as it limits the duration one can remain at their table/chair once their electronics ran out of juice. Just come fully charged and use the battery life of your devices to frame your hours of working digitally. It's a library after all and we need to kick up with a physical book in our hands occasionally.

Big and spacious. Closes early. Not too crowded. Right beside pets safari (pet shop) and beauty in the pot (hotpot restaurant) in the middle - will see it after going up the escalator at the 3rd floor. Not too many seats unfortunately. And not a very big library compared to other national libraries- orchard one is wayyy bigger ! Though rare book options are available here too! Nice place to be quiet in. Arrive Earlier the better though. And no food allowed, only water is.

Good space & atmosphere but perhaps more seating areas could be added in the main library area, outside of the two rooms.

Great library with plenty of seats to read a book or 2. I've been coming here for the past few weeks and thoroughly enjoyed my experience. The volunteers running this joint were extremely helpful and alert to those who do not conform to basic library protocols. (You know what I mean...right?) Overall, if you have a couple of hours quality time to spare, be sure to check out the view. Awesome!

Once in a while visit places that will make your soul full. I love the smell of books and how peaceful the place is. You can stay here all the day just reading a book, seating in one corner. Love the scenery as well as it is overviewing Resorts World Sentosa. A cozy place indeed, the heavens of books.

Such a beautiful public library with Sentosa sea- view. Nice selection of wellness books. Some work or study areas with tables outside and in room. Charging areas are central means not encouraging hoarding of space. Children section is cute. Conducive library is sometimes marred by noisy kids & adults talking loudly. Only happens in this library, possibly run by volunteers. Very crowded on weekends with long queue. With heightened alert requirements, book ahead on weekend with a click instead of wasting time in queue.

The Harbourfront library is a really nice library because there is an Adult & Teens section AND a kid's section which I think is really cool because in some libraries they single out kid books and just have adult & teen books which is completely fine, it's just that a lot of parents like that they're kids start reading at a young age and I think that's it's really nice that the Harbourfront library included that. Another thing that is also cool is that there are 6 seats that have a computer for 'Check The Source' for books. The thing I didn't like as much is that after a period of time it gets very cold so I would suggest you get a jacket beforehand. I wish there were a bit more library catalogs. If you walk all the way towards the right once you've entered (in the Adult & Teens section) there is a really nice spot for sitting down and reading because everytime you look up from whatever you're doing there's this really nice view of the Sentosa Boardwalk. Another thing that I like about the Harbourfront library is that there are a lot of seats. Sometimes in other libraries it's a bit harder for me to find a seat to read so I liked that there were quite a few seats. There's a section in the Adults & Teens section where I think on Saturdays at 2pm they have a little reading session for the smaller kids. And on the other days it's more of a student lounge, so if you would like to study there or just use your computer I would recommend it. They also have categories for books like, Teens, Business, Finance and more. Overall I think that the Harbourfront library is a really enjoyable and relaxing place to go to.
