Ang Mo Kio Public Library, Public library in Ang Mo Kio, Singapore.
Ang Mo Kio Public Library is a two-level public library with separate sections for different types of materials and readers. The ground floor holds children's books and adult fiction, while the upper floor contains reference works and other specialized collections.
The library opened in 1985 under a different name and later underwent a major renovation that updated its facilities and services. This renovation in 2002 marked an important milestone in expanding what it offers to the community.
The library serves the local Indian community with an extensive collection of Tamil-language materials you can browse on the shelves. This section reflects the neighborhood's cultural makeup and provides resources that many residents rely on for reading and learning in their native language.
The library is located near Yio Chu Kang MRT station and sits on Ang Mo Kio Avenue 6, making it easy to reach by public transport. You can visit during regular hours each day, and there are 24-hour book drop boxes available if you need to return items outside operating hours.
One room inside is called the Tomato Room, named after a possible connection to the area's name in the Hokkien dialect. This playful reference ties the neighborhood's linguistic roots to the library's spaces in a way visitors might not immediately notice.
