The National Library Board (NLB) manages a network of 27 public libraries, the National Library and the National Archives of Singapore. As we navigate a changing social, cultural, and economic landscape amid rapid digitalisation and a disruptive pandemic, we continue to innovate so our libraries and archives remain inclusive learning spaces for visitors of all ages, and backgrounds.

Our libraries and archives play an integral role in the community. In the next phase of NLB's transformation under LAB25 (Libraries and Archives Blueprint 2025), we strive to build a Learning Marketplace, nurture an Informed Citizenry, inspire Singapore Storytellers, and serve as an Equaliser. Visit our website to find out more about LAB25.

Through physical and online channels, patrons can borrow their favourite books, read and research in comfort, pick up new skills or participate in a wide range of programmes. We serve as a social leveller that offers something for everyone, from toddlers learning to utter their first few words to seniors planning for their retirement.

We also serve those who would love to visit our libraries but are unable to do so. They could be young children from disadvantaged families, senior citizens or those with disabilities or special needs. With support from our kind donors and volunteers, we reach out to them at their homes, schools and childcare centres. Our upcoming Punggol Regional Library will also be equipped to cater to those with special needs, such as through customised services and calming zones. Through the National Library and National Archives of Singapore, we serve as a collector and keeper of Singapore stories that instils a deeper appreciation of our collective experience through discovery, inspiration, and creation.

Everyone deserves to experience the joys of reading, learning and discovering. Help us make library and archives services more inclusive.
