First pop-up comics and games library opens in Punggol Coast Mall
The Straits Times
|May 01, 2025
A new pop-up library with more than 7,000 comics, game-themed reads, graphic novels and board games opened on April 30 at Punggol Coast Mall.
Called the Comics and Games Library, it will be open for a year and is a fully self-service facility jointly launched by the National Library Board (NLB), JTC Corporation and local board-game company Origame.
This is the first NLB pop-up which features board games.
Located at the atrium of Punggol Coast Mall in Punggol Digital District, the library's bright designs reflect the "fun, adventurous spirit of comics and gameplay", said the NLB on April 30.
Patrons can play board games at dedicated spaces within the pop-up, which also allows them to browse and borrow books.
This pop-up is part of NLB's LAB25 (Libraries and Archives Blueprint 2025) plan — a five-year road map launched in 2021 that aims to encourage Singaporeans to read and become more information-literate.
