My quest for interesting libraries sometimes takes me to
the furthest regions of a city. In Taipei, I have to ride the MRT for nearly an
hours form the southern neighborhood of Xindian to the northern district of
Beitou to see the Xin Beitou Library, and boy is it worth it.
This journey to Singapore’s Bishan library was much the
same, a long ride on the MRT to the northern outskirts of the city, to a
interesting library in the middle fo a bustling suburb.
Unfortunately I showed up on Hari Raji Day, a national
holiday in Singapore, so the building was closed. I was looking forward to
reading in one of the library’s reading pods, but this time I could only photograph
them from the outside.
