Jurong Regional Library
During the construction of the National Library building, it temporarily housed the main collections of the reference library until the opening of the new building on 22 July 2005.
History
The library was first opened on 1 August 1988 as Jurong East Community Library by Ho Kah Leong who was the Senior Parliamentary Secretary (Communications & Information) and Member of Parliament for Jurong Constituency. It was subsequently closed in June 2003 for upgrading works. After the completion of its refurbishment in 2004, it was re-opened as Jurong Regional Library on 4 June that year by the then Acting Minister for Education, Tharman Shanmugaratnam.
Future relocation
The Urban Redevelopment Authority and National Library Board announced on 15 November 2022 that the library would be relocated to the future Jurong East Integrated Transport Hub in 2028.
