Updated: Current Jul 2025: #SG60 Founders' Memorial Peaceful in the morning with stock up shelves of children magazines . For locals attending, the basic life-saving course is free and insightful, and we had to pre-register. However, on that day, no pre- registration or verification was done, and thus anyone can just pop by on the day. Having a senior staff and students from SCDF assisting in guiding on the proper method of conducting CPR and steps to assist in an emergency, using the AED, and Q&A. Number of attendees was just right on the day, and session will definitely be helpful. Weekends are crowded in the library and busy for the librarians. Stacks of books were placed on return trolleys, some kids were playing, and people sitting around at the sides at the children section. Better scene at the adult section. Magazines shelving at the adult section is usually empty or contained past issues. You do find new issue on some visits. For children section, particularly like the latest issues on the Chinese educational magazines, but less latest English issues.

A truly beautiful library with a great view (Sentosa and sea view). Had a pleasant moment reading my favourite book in this centrally located library. Love this library and believe this is one of the best libraries I ever been. Will definitely keep visiting this branch. 👍🏻👍🏻 highly recommended for everyone 👍🏻👍🏻 …

Visited Library @ HarbourFront — one of the nicest local libraries to relax and enjoy some quiet time with a book. The view overlooking Sentosa Island adds to the calming ambiance, making it a great spot to unwind. It’s mostly a self-service library with everything fully automated, from borrowing to returning books. The setup is modern and efficient, making the whole experience smooth and convenient. A great place for both readers and those looking for a peaceful retreat.

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.

✳️ library@harbourfront 🟨1 HarbourFront Walk, #03-05 VivoCity mall, Singapore 098585 🟦 I recently visited library@harbourfront at VivoCity mall and was very impressed by its sleek, modern & beautiful design aesthetics and scenic views of the harbour. 🟤 I read that this harbourfront library features a coastal theme - with large window panels and a relaxing atmosphere. ● The bookshelves are well-organised, and the space offers various amenities, including learning pods and interactive storytelling rooms for kids. 🔵 This library boasts an impressive collection of around 200,000 books, magazines, and reading materials. 🟨 The Adults' and Teens' Zone has bookshelves featuring topics like travel and health, ➡️🟠 while the Children's Zone has a dedicated collection of audio-visual materials and magazines for kids. 🟢 Opening Hours ⬛️ The library is open from 11 am to 9 pm, Monday to Sunday.

Really love the library in the middle of a crowded mall. Very happy they have a security gantry to allow people to scan passes to enter. Divided session of young kids and other section is although a hassle but necessary because the children session can be a little noisy. Also love they have the self check out gantry which is cool. Books selection may not have the widest variety but good enough for town. I find limited seatings among bookshelves area although proper table/seats are scattered all around. I find a lot of people occupied those seats for working, studying or leisure reading. I really don't like the people taking advantage to nap there but the librarian did go around stopping them. The other point that was not pleasant are the seats facing the waterfront. While it is definitely such a good experience reading and facing sentosa, the air was really stuffy and not ventilated. The heat from the glass was intense and the air con wasn't strong enough. Beautifully furnished library.

Recently opened in Jan 2019, this 3,000 square metres public library took over the space where Diaso used to be located at. There are ample seating space available inside the library and there are seats where you can enjoy the panoramic view of Sentosa. And there are even charging points to charge your mobile phone if needed.

Hiding hon top of vivo city L3 is this awesome children library. Love how there’s plenty of reading areas (shoes on and off). Amazing place to borrow a variety of books for bedtime or just spend an afternoon reading :)
