i believe this is the first library i went to when i was young. but sadly/fortunately, till now, there arent much changes in the library.
when you walk into there you'll just feel that you're back in a library back in the olden days, (if you're born in the 80s).
the thing that still hasnt changed, primary school likes to have their excursion there :) so its always filled with excited little kids or the teenagers studying quietly in one corner.
their range of books are quite limited, well at least i always cant find the books i want there. but generally, this place is so 'old school' :)
located at the third level of singapore well known building structure, the esplanade, the library there is very much different from the other libraries in singapore.
its our first performing arts library, which offers all sorts of materials relating to performing arts which you can hardly find where else. things like music, dance, theatre and films.
being such an arty farty library, arts are also shown in their decorations. Lights are slightly dimmed, creating a real comfortable environment.
there is a cafe there which sells light desserts and coffee, so you can enjoy your daily caffeine while enjoying the artistic atmosphere.
seriously, the place really didnt seem like a library to me.
eemlsaid: I agree it does not look like a library. A lot of ppl are just there to listen to the music. There is even a piano where ppl can practise. Overall the place is quite nice and comfy 24 Oct 2008 at 9:58 am

Pasir Ris Library is located at the top level of white sands shopping centre. so it does take some hard work to get there :)
Its a simple place, when you first entered you'll reach a big hall with all the books and limited e-kiosk and computers at the sides.
The place felt young as their decorations are quite funky and young designers posters are all over the place.
i feel not much books are available there and most of them are on lone.
With the funky furniture, i feel more fun than wanting to be serious and study. haha abit contridictory. but its definitely a place which can brighten up your mood, changing your impression of a typical library.
In the heartland of tampines, this library seems to be associated more with the residents there. Nothing fanciful building but yet a place always packed with students from nearby school.
The building is abit old, and not much e-kiosk and computers are available. However, when you first entered the library there'll be one long stretch of customer service officers attending to you.
The library did not provide fanciful decorations but more down to earth. It does not have escalators like how others have.
Customer service wise, very helpful. The officer did not even show any form of displeasure when i act like a total idiot not knowing how to even locate my books.

The place felt quite 'fun' to me as they have sections like children reading parks with the kiddish furniture and some things they can play with.
theres a big waterfall at the atrium beside an escalator, library where got so nice one????? haha
if im not wrong theres also a cute tree decorated in a very fairy tale like manner near the children's section.
there is also a very relaxing decorated music lounge where you can sit there comfortably enjoying the music they have.
beautiful place :)
