Yishun Public Library

Yishun Public Library (Simplified Chinese: 义顺社区图书馆), is a public library located in Yishun in the northern region of Singapore, initially opened on 26 February 1998. It serves areas such as Yishun, Seletar, Ang Mo Kio and Kebun Baru planning areas.

Formerly situated in the third level of the Sembawang Town Council building at Block 290 Yishun Street 22, Singapore 760290, it was closed on 23 October 2008 and reopened to the public on 14 November that year, currently within the fourth level of Northpoint City's new extension and closer to Yishun MRT station.[1] The new location has an area of 2000 square metres and has a collection of 150,000 books, 7500 for each section and has a Cafe Galilee which the old location lacked. The cafe was later removed in 2014.

On 15 January 2017, Yishun Public Library was closed for renovation due to the effect of refurbishment and Asset Enhancement Initiative (AEI)[2] at Northpoint. It was then reopened on 3 February 2018.[3]
