Toa Payoh Public Library

Toa Payoh Public Library is a three-story facility with distinct sections designed for different visitor groups. The building contains reading areas, study zones, and specialized spaces tailored to children, teenagers, and senior patrons.

The building was originally constructed as an administrative facility used during a regional sporting event. It was converted into a public library in 1974 to serve the growing community.

This location has always been a gathering place for the community in Toa Payoh, serving people of all ages and backgrounds. Visitors can find materials and spaces that reflect the multilingual and diverse character of the neighborhood.

The facility is easily accessible and offers spaces for both casual browsing and focused study work. Free access to newspapers, eBooks, and learning materials in multiple languages makes it a practical community resource.

The children's section features an unusual ship-shaped structure that invites play and exploration. This element transforms the visit for young patrons into an experience that goes beyond typical library activities.
