Library's new home in AMK Hub to feature immersive, interactive experiences for users
The site of Ang Mo Kio Public Library is set to house a healthcare facility after the library moves to AMK Hub shopping mall in 2026.
In response to queries from The Straits Times, a spokeswoman for Link Asset Management, which manages AMK Hub, said the library will be located on the fourth storey of the mall, without elaborating.
Cathay Cineplexes was located on the fourth storey before it shuttered on June 30.
The current site of Ang Mo Kio Public Library has been zoned for health and medical care use, under the Urban Redevelopment Authority's (URA) Draft Master Plan 2025, which was unveiled on June 25.
Possible future uses for the 5,300 sq m site in Ang Mo Kio Avenue 6 could include a hospital, polyclinic, dental or medical clinic, veterinary clinic, nursing home or medical suite.
The National Library Board (NLB) announced the library's relocation in a Facebook post on July 1, adding that library users can look forward to immersive and interactive experiences in the new space.
Ang Mo Kio Public Library opened in 1985 and went through upgrading works in 2002 and 2019. Ang Mo Kio Polyclinic is situated next to the library.
