The Public Libraries Singapore (PLS) provides a professional and engaging public library service to Singaporeans in their pursuit of lifelong learning and discovery through the network of 27 Public Libraries (including three regional libraries) located conveniently across Singapore. Yes, this page is part of NLB. We handle the public library pages and this is the main page for all public libraries in Singapore, thus it is a one-stop shop for all things related to the public library services and programmes. Please note that our branch pages will cease operations later this year, so follow this page for updates on our public libraries.
