Singapore National Library to move into new $200m building by late 2005

Channel News Asia Reports the National Library at Stamford Road will move out of its 44-year-old home. But the new $200 million building at Victoria Street won’t be ready until late 2005.

From 1st April, the National Library at Stamford Road will shut its doors to the public for good.

And everything in it, will go.

About 200,000 reference books will be moved to the Jurong Regional Library.

The rest will go to a warehouse in Changi or other community and regional libraries.
