Library@Harbourfront - VivoCity

Sea View Wash Away the Blues

Getting a study spot with a sea view can cost you heftily, or it can be
free-of-charge. Today, we take a look at Library@Harbourfront, the
newest public library in singapore! As the biggest library within a mall
in SG, it spans about half a football field and has a seating capacity of
460, separated into two zones: one for adults and the other for
children.
 
The seating at the Newspaper Reading Area or Reading Lounge will
reward you with a sweeping view of the sea (and Sentosa), though
some might find the view a tad distracting. Those who can’t snag a
seat at either location can instead head for the cosy Programme Zone
– provided there aren’t ongoing activities. It houses about a hundred
seats when not in use and makes for a suitable place to camp in when
you wish to study in peace for upcoming exams or assessments!
 
Aside from the gorgeous view, the library is home to a large collection
of books, so you are spoilt for choice when it comes to reading for
leisure. Good luck securing your seats in this IG-worthy place! The trick
is to arrive at the library as it opens
