National Library, Singapore
The National Library Building brings public and reference collections together on Victoria Street. Visit for Singapore and Southeast Asian research, or to see a modern civic building close to Bras Basah.
Why go
The Lee Kong Chian Reference Library gives a focused way to explore the region through books and archives. The building also links the old National Library’s public mission with a newer, larger home in the Civic District. It also offers a purposeful stop for anyone following the nearby museums and education buildings.
What to look for

The building combines reference and public library functions.
Useful to know
