Queenstown Community Library

Wow, such nice ambience in the Library!!!
Would you have known it would turn 38 years old come 2nd May? It was the 1st full time branch library and where I used to spend my happy hours during my early school days. I really must applaud for the efforts by National Library Board (NLB) to constantly provide a conducive environment for its readers.
Below are pictures taken from its 2nd floor, when I am tired from my reading, I would just look out to the nature & relax my eyes. I recall that sometime ago, I saw those white heron-like birds resting in the surrounding.


The library is located at 53 Margaret Drive, Singapore 149297.
Nearest MRT is Queenstown MRT.
