I've always been slightly ambivalent about public libraries being located in shopping centres in Singapore. But it seems like an unstoppable trend, with the recent closure of the library in Bukit Merah Central (depriving many local residents of a beloved space) and relocating it to... Vivocity. I'm very happy to know that the Queenstown Library is now a building that is officially conserved by the URA, which means that a small part of my memories of obscure libraries will be preserved. Meanwhile, I'm trying to go with the flow and ride the wave; accept the fact that all public libraries are destined to be found within shopping malls now. It's not all bad, all things considering. It's also kind of subversive in a way, that these temples of knowledge are inserted (hopefully not engulfed) by these pyramids of capitalism. Sigh. Singapore. What shall we do with you? What can we do with you?

Official reopening of the National Archives of Singapore Building
The revamped National Archives of Singapore (NAS) building at 1 Canning Rise officially reopened on 7 April 2019 after being closed for a year and a half for upgrading. The occasion coincided with the 50th anniversary of NAS, celebrating half a century of the institution as the keeper of archival materials of national and historical significance.
The revamped building boasts new facilities such as the 134-seater Oldham Theatre, three oral history recording studios, new microfilm readers at the Archives Reading Room and expanded conservation labs. You can also expect to be brought closer to our archives with regular talks, guest speaker sessions, workshops and group tours hosted in the revitalised space.

National Library
Library services have been an essential part of Singapore since the 1960s. The opening of new library branches and the launch of mobile facilities extended the library’s reach. Young people under 15, who then constituted nearly half the total population, made the children’s section a particularly lively spot. For more archival materials from the National Archives of Singapore, please visit nas.gov.sg/archivesonline.

SG National Library Board 2018– Time after Time
It was really interesting filming this - Seeing the transformation of myself (executed by a team of talented make-up artists and hair stylists) from a Teenager right up to my 60s; Finding out that my on-screen grown-up daughter was only 2 years younger than me in reality; The crazy stories I had to create on the spot to engage a group of little kids and make them perform.... Ohhh, the behind-the-scenes of this commercial would make an entertaining cut!!
