National Library

Singapore's National Library, a repository of books in the heart of the city, on Victoria Street.
The flagpole flying our national flag rises skyward along with the cantilevered facade. Looking up from another angle. The building comprises two blocks linked by skybridges. There is a viewing pod on the top 16th storey and a public garden on the 5th storey.
A far view taking in one side of its modern architecture. The building, which opened in 2005, is a far cry from the red-bricked building that was the old National Library at Stamford Road which left sentimental memories. Times are always a changing in fast paced Singapore.
