SINGAPORE – People will be able to spend more time in public libraries starting Monday (January 4), as Singapore enters phase three of its reopening.
On weekdays, there will be no limit on how long patrons can stay in the National Library, Public Libraries, National Archives of Singapore and the Old Ford Factory during hours of operation.
Time limits will continue to apply for weekend visits.
On Saturdays and Sundays, patrons can visit the National Library, regional libraries in Jurong, Tampines and Woodlands, as well as the National Archives of Singapore for up to three hours.
