Sports Hub Library

From what I understand, this is a privately owned library so I’m allowed to be a little more critical. :-P
Again, I find its location interesting. In theory it makes sense, having a sports library in the Singapore Sports Hub. It’s also opposite the huge shopping mall, like they’re trying to balance both consumerism and education.
You can’t deny that it’s a unique library, either. A dedicated space to sports history and sports medicine? Pretty neat. It’s a smaller structure, but still pretty spacious. They definitely keep with the theme by displaying huge photos of Singaporean athletes, having sporty silhouette decals on the walls, and featuring world renowned athletes like Mayweather and Pacquiao in certain areas.
But for me, it all comes down to… furniture. There are lots of comfy chairs to sit in, but no desks! Drives me crazy. There’s also an obscene amount of space (for Singapore standards) with nothing there. It’s as if they’re saying «sitting at desks are for losers; do downward dog or some lunges while you read that sports history book of yours.»
At least the aunties at the front desk were nice and useful. They told me the best place to catch a cab (near Leisure Park) and they were right!
