Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

    The familiar treehouse reading corner is gone, replaced by a completely new marine theme (designed in collaboration with SEAquarium, Senotsa) that has a more open layout with less hidden corners - better for parents to watch out for their kids.

    Shelves still seem to be only about 30% filled, though. But trust it'll improve bit by bit!

    I thoroughly enjoyed my time at this place. It has a captivating and aesthetically pleasing ambiance, reminiscent of a library.

    As long as DSLR cameras are used discreetly without causing any disturbance to other guests, they are permitted.

    I like libraries. The first national library that crept into my early adolescent days was the Stamford Library. Many of those books I read at Stamford Library still influenced my life outlook and my perspectives of the world. When my children were in their developmental years, I brought them frequently to borrow books from Bukit Merah Library, Jurong East Library and Chua Chu Kang Library.

    Library books have been my spiritual pillar and my best companion. I had longed to visit this library at Harborfront after it moved from Bukit Merah over here. Today, I walked my way to Depot Road, Henderson Waves and arrived at Vivo City via the Marang Trail at Mount Faber Peak.

    I have been to many of our public libraries that were located in malls like the ones at Bukit Panjang Plaza, the Chinatown Point, Lot One, Woodlands Civic Centre. They are all very modern, clean, lustrous and efficiently run. This one at Harborfront is impressive located ideally at the 3rd floor of the mall overlooking the spectacularly gorgeous Sentosa. It was a great pleasure, relaxing on a chair reading a book on hand while appreciating the beautiful scenery across the Harborfront.

    Vivo City mall is so vibrant, trendy and crowded. I thought everyone came here for the food and shopping, but I was shocked that the library was equally packed. From the multimedia stations to the reading lounges and the programme rooms, you hardly can find any vacant seats. Even the two pillars of charging stations, the iPad and hand phones were charging at maximum capacity.

    Visitors who are tired of walking along the shopping alleys can find rest in the library and catch up with the latest books. Likewise, those who `soak' too long in the library can go for a gastronomic exploration at the Republic Food Court and the many eateries in the mall. I noticed they were equally packed with customers.

    This library is not only conveniently located but also commands the most gorgeous view of the Harborfront. I am proud of our national libraries.
