The library has incorporated several innovative features to enhance the reading and learning experience.
At the digital learning zone, visitors can browse thousands of electronic magazines powered by digital newsstand PressReader.
For those looking to boost their career prospects, they can upgrade their professional skills at seven learning pods, which are equipped with touch-screen monitors and headphones. They can also access online courses via popular website Lynda.com or watch TED Talk videos.
The library’s aesthetics have also been given a lift with brand new furniture and futuristic interior decor. Visitors who enjoy reading in an ambient setting can head to the reading lounge equipped with 26 single seats, each of which has an individual reading light switch.
The typical features of public libraries will also be available at the Yishun public library including a newspaper reading room, a section for young readers and rooms to hold events and workshops.
