The first national library that crept into my early adolescent days was the Stamford Library. Many of those books I read at Stamford Library still influenced my life outlook and my perspectives of the world. When my children were in their developmental years, I brought them frequently to borrow books from Bukit Merah Library, Jurong East Library and Chua Chu Kang Library.
Library books have been my spiritual pillar and my best companion. I had longed to visit this library at Harborfront after it moved from Bukit Merah over here. Today, I walked my way to Depot Road, Henderson Waves and arrived at Vivo City via the Marang Trail at Mount Faber Peak.
I have been to many of our public libraries that were located in malls like the ones at Bukit Panjang Plaza, the Chinatown Point, Lot One, Woodlands Civic Centre. They are all very modern, clean, lustrous and efficiently run. This one at Harborfront is impressive located ideally at the 3rd floor of the mall overlooking the spectacularly gorgeous Sentosa. It was a great pleasure, relaxing on a chair reading a book on hand while appreciating the beautiful scenery across the Harborfront.
Vivo City mall is so vibrant, trendy and crowded. I thought everyone came here for the food and shopping, but I was shocked that the library was equally packed. From the multimedia stations to the reading lounges and the programme rooms, you hardly can find any vacant seats. Even the two pillars of charging stations, the iPad and hand phones were charging at maximum capacity.
Visitors who are tired of walking along the shopping alleys can find rest in the library and catch up with the latest books. Likewise, those who `soak' too long in the library can go for a gastronomic exploration at the Republic Food Court and the many eateries in the mall. I noticed they were equally packed with customers.
This library is not only conveniently located but also commands the most gorgeous view of the Harborfront. I am proud of our national libraries.
