(10 Sept 2025) The distinct scent of thousands of new books fills the air of a warehouse in Changi South.
It is not a bookshop but the Library Supply Centre (LSC), where some 3,000 brand new books are catalogued and processed daily.
In a year, the volume of materials processed in the warehouse exceeds one million items.
The centre, which spans about 7,000 sq m, serves as the central warehouse and processing facility for the National Library Board’s (NLB) network of public libraries across Singapore.
For the first time, the public on Sept 5 got a behind-the-scenes look at how incoming library materials are received and processed before they make their way to the shelves at public libraries.
