(This was about an hour later, when the building was closing for the day)

The lighting gives the place a different ambience at night. This was the lobby (as viewed from level 2):

This is the Lee Kong Chian Reference Library (L 11).

Even the photo wall (at level 11 of LKCRL) looks more vibrant. I like this segment of the wall best, with our National Flag on the left and Sir Stamford Raffles on the right. The picture sits on top of the bookshelves. It says to me that our history is founded upon learning.

If you go to the garden ("The Courtyard")...

... and look out, you'll see the Intercontinential Hotel.

This was what I saw looking out of the lift (the only one that has a glass view):

If you know of better ways to encourage more civic-mindedness from library users, we'd sure like to hear from you. Parents, try to remind your kids to pick up the books and back on the browse-bin on your way out (rather than leave on the table). Pretty please :)

I overheard some people saying they couldn't understand why there's only one lending section in such a large building (which could explain why some felt there was a waste of space). Maybe this might help them appreciate what the other floors contain:
