A book lover walks through bookshelves in the library in Singapore. It is said that ÒWhenever you read a good book, somewhere in the world a door opens to allow in more light.Ó Library@orchard was launched 23 October 2014 at Orchard Gateway, within a shopping mall in the heart of Somerset, Orchard in Singapore. The new library is slightly bigger than its predecessor at 1,700 square metres and spans two floors of the mall, The Studio and The Loft. 45% of the 100,000 item collection focuses on design and the Singapore National Library Board worked with students and lecturers from Singapore Polytechnic to develop ideas for the branch, focused as it is on young adults. Used as test beds for National Library Board to introduce new services and products which could then be adapted for future projects. The NLB has reinvented the concept of libraries with two of its boutique libraries, library@orchard and library@esplanade winning rave reviews from visitors and the media.
