An iconic building whichever junction you are admiring it from
You can bring reference books from any levels of the Reference Library to any other levels. Just use the staircase located at the left end (upon entry) of the Reference Library at your level.Upvoted Feb 26
Ted Patrick BoglosaDecember 29, 2015The 11th floor has the Southeast Asian book collection. A very good amount of books!

Victor OhMarch 16, 2010This place is best to study. With its spacious surroundings and comfortable seating areas, you can spend the whole day camping here. At leas that's what I am doing
Ayaka WatanabeJune 24, 2011Good for reference and self study. Got Internet too so you can refer to some sites like wiki even if you don't have your personal lap top. And normal books at level B1..
Wow, racial and status discriminations flying all over the toxic work place~ even external vendors get scrutinised like criminals? Thank you NLB for opening my eyes
Chutima NakwarinNovember 18, 2013Gigantic library and lots of activity here, especially for kids ^_^ modern 24 hrs. drop book kios- As per the tip about the toilets, the upper levels are way nicer. Borrow a book to while you are at it
If you want to check the courses and programs offered at ESSEC, the French business school, go to their reception on 13th floor
who needs to buy books. upper levels have more industry-specific books.
Deswin LimOctober 9, 2016patrons need to be more considerate and only occupy the seats when needed. most of the seats are reserved with their belongings leaving others with no seats
Emvlyn OngJuly 9, 2015They have security checking bags so do not bring in any food or related stuff into the library.

Dolson JiechengFebruary 17, 2011Open at 930 morning. Make sure u queue up morning 830 or else u won't get seat. Especially sat and sun
Get few books borrowed at B1 then proceed to study room at level 5 or 7 for a peace of mind
May Zamora-CabajarDecember 30, 2010Watch out for very interesting cultural exhibits. This is a haven for those who love to read and study.- Queue outside the Study Lounge before they open to get a seat! :) it's more crowded during the weekends too.
All-time favorite drink - Avocado Shake at Hanis Cafe. Less than $5 and one of the best Avocado drinks around, not too sweet, just nice!
Finance students should hang out at level 7. Fantastic collection over here.
Wanna borrow stuff? Go to b1: central public library. Has the largest fiction and literary arts collection out of the 20+ other libraries.
- Hongwen ChenApril 22, 2012lvl 8 is a reference library, not for primary school students to do their home works!
Tian Guan LeeDecember 29, 2010Come here 10 mins early before the opening hours and hear the sweet message from the PA system.
library staff are friendly and helpful... Have questions? Ask them! (@level 11)
Wah! A few days late return must pay $2.70? tai lang phang huay ah!
Evon TaiOctober 16, 2010Library is big...but wonder y only level 5 is study lounge and it will super small >.<
Haiqal AzizNovember 10, 2011There are toilets near Hans Cafe below the stairs leading downwards near there.- May Zamora-CabajarMarch 23, 2011Check the exhibit schedules and visit 7th floor for good marketing books
Nathanael OngFebruary 23, 2011The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho. A book that leaves a life enhancing shift in ones perception on life. An ease to read.
It's really very updated. Try here unless you must own the book!
