library@orchard is Moving On

NLB held a media conference to talk about the relocation and future plans for library@orchard.

The National Library Board (NLB) announced today that after eight eventful years at Ngee Ann City, the library@orchard will be moving out from its current premises at Ngee Ann City on 30 November 2007...The closure is caused by the end and non-renewal of the lease on the space...The library@orchard will re-open in 2010 at a new location – *scape the youth community space, and possibly another redeveloped site along Orchard Road.

Photos of the media interview can be found at Ivan Chew's Flickr.

I'm going to miss them. I always thought it was cool having a public library in such a convenient, central location. Plus it was a good spot for hanging out with a few magazines and a cold drink. Guess I'll need to go the extra distance over to the National Library near Bugis...
