Ang Mo Kio Library (Simplified Chinese: 宏茂桥图书馆) is one of the 26 public libraries established by the National Library Board of Singapore.

History

Ang Mo Kio Community Library was officially opened on 17 August 1985 by Yeo Toon Chia, then Member of Parliament for Ang Mo Kio Constituency, and was opened to the public on 19 August.[1] The library was closed in March 2002 for renovation, and was officially reopened on 5 January 2003 by Vivian Balakrishnan, then Minister of State for National Development.[2] It was renamed as Ang Mo Kio Public Library in 2008.[3][4]

Relocation

Hoarding for the new Ang Mo Kio Library on the fourth level of AMK Hub in August 2025.

The library is slated to relocate to AMK Hub in Q4 2026, taking over the space formerly occupied by the cinema at Level 4. The move is officially to improve accessiblity and convenience to patrons and commuters, as the mall is located along major public transport nodes such as the MRT station and bus interchange.[5] Following the move, the prior site will be redeveloped into a healthcare facility to complement the neighbouring polyclinic, as stated on the URA Draft Master Plan 2025. In the interim, NLB and the mall management established a temporary reading node on Level 4 of the mall, located just outside the construction hoardings of the new library. This arrangement will last till 29 October 2026, after which the relocated library will open on 20 November 2026. In preparation for the move, the prior library ceased operations after 31 July 2026.[6]
