With curved shelves and a calming neutral overall tone, it sure is a very inviting place to read. There is even a small stage further inside where the library sometimes holds events like storytelling for children or book-signing. My overall rating of the experience: 4 out of 5 stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ #meetsingapore #exploresgtogether #momentssg #tripmoments #library #attraction #shoppingmall #orchardroad #singapore

#SingaporePhotoSpot library@orchard A public library on Orchard Road located in a shopping mall. Take the escalator to the 3rd floor. Now it is a popular photo spot for Thais. It is a beautifully lined library, quiet, and has a great atmosphere. I really like it here. Open every day except Wednesday. Opening hours: 11:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. Fee: Free How to get there: Take the MRT to Somerset Station. You can walk up from the station (get off at Somerset 313).

Another very beautiful and peaceful library in Singapore is Library@Orchard. It is a library where many Singaporeans come to read books. But they also have a corner for taking pictures. But you have to be very quiet. You can't make any noise. Always turn off your phone. They will put stickers on you to show you where to stand to take pictures. The pictures you get are very minimalist. #SingaporeAttractions

Item : Library @ Orchard Location : Orchard Gateway Address : 277 Orchard Rd, #03-12 / #04-11 orchardgateway, Singapore 238858 Maybe you only know Orchard Road as a shopper paradise....But located in a shopping mall is where you can find this library. I haven't step in this library for 2years since the pandemic started. Now you can even borrow books using NLB app just by scanning the barcode of the book located inside the book or on the spine of the book. Fancy indeed. I dont even have to go to the kiosk to scan my books. You need to download the National Library Board app on google playstore. The ambience of this library is amazing and there is even a window sitting area for you to drown in your pile of books... #mustvisit

#cityscapes “The more that you read, the more that you will know. The more that you learn, the more places you’ll go” - Dr. Seuss Reading is supposed to be fun when you place a library in the middle of orchard, does that mean it’s double the fun? Library @ Orchard is very well located on level four and five of Orchard Gateway where you get to look out into the view of Killiney road, the architecture of The library is just an influencers haven, there is no way to make the library look bad in anyway. One special feature of our national library is that you are able to borrow the books from here and return in to any National library near you which just makes it so convenient!

#cityscapes Library@Orchard Address: 277 Orchard Rd, #03-12 / #04-11 orchardgateway, Singapore 238858 Nearest MRT: Somerset station You are allowed to drink water at Librar@Orchard. So carry a bottle with you when you are at Library@Orchard the next time. Now, I will tell you why. Pls go up to level 4 and find a seat facing the windows. You will be able to have a fantastic view of Orchard road with the glass to ceiling windows and enjoy the views. Plus it is free entry and you can read a book and enjoy the afternoon here. It is so much better and cheaper than spending time in a cafe. When you get tired, you can move inwards and find a nicer lounge chair and continue reading. There is no time limit at the library and nobody will chase you away.

Library @ Orchard is one of the nicest two storey library in Singapore. Located at Orchard Gateway shopping. The library is clean , well organised and managed. The environment is very peaceful and spacious . At level 2, if u get to seat in specific seats , there is a really nice view of CBD buildings . What I like is the amazing city view from the sofa seats and the decorations of the book shelves that looks very wavy like a snake. Nice place to take photo. Location is directly above Somerset MRT. Great place for study and work. #urbanexplorer #naturalwonders #library #orchardgateway #cityview #bookshelves #architect #photogenic

Thinking of Singapore, besides the Merlion, we probably can't forget the Hainanese Chicken Rice menu that many people say is soft, bouncy, and delicious. We also want to try it. Starting the trip at Changi Airport, when getting off the plane, we must be amazed by the airport. Both the beautiful decorations, the atmosphere, and the large waterfall in the middle of the airport for taking pictures. The next point is the Merlion, the lion that sprays water, which is the country's mascot. Anyone who comes to Singapore must stop by to take a picture of the lion that sprays water. Arriving at the famous menu, Singaporean Hainanese Chicken Rice, located at Maxwell Station, this one is the highlight. The chicken is soft, bouncy, and the chicken innards are the best. There is no fishy smell at all. Anyone who comes must come and try it. The last check-in point is Library @orchard. Anyone who likes the atmosphere of a library, likes to read books, can come and sit and read and enjoy the peaceful atmosphere in the afternoon. #Get a discount without relying on luck

#singaporetrip When I'm in Orchard waiting for someone or got tired roaming around shops, I always go to library@orchard. Instead of tiring myself out even more, I just look for a vacant seat along with my chosen book for that stay. The book selection aren't that big but I can still find books I'm interested in reading. Everytime I go there, it's crowded so it's a bit of a challenge to find a spot I could stay in. There are many seating options throughout the 2 levels of the library. I've always wanted to seat at the unique curved stair-like wooden platforms but it's always full. This library is famous due to the curved bookshelves and is often photographed from the stairs. As of the moment, the library is closed for 2 years due to renovation works. #singapore #sg #orchard #somerset #visitsingapore #library #thingstodo
