Ms. Lim Lee Ping
Hi everyone, I’m Lee Ping, manager of Jurong Regional Library.
As a regional library, we cater to all age groups and I’m sure you’ll find something to interest you. We have special spaces for the very young ones – our Early Literacy Library’s collection focuses on five key areas that are vital to children’s learning and development – and the Verging All Teens at Level 4 where teens have over 1,200 sqm of space to call their own. Keen to do some tinkering? Visit us at PIXEL Labs and experiment with different tools and hardware kits to learn, create and share your handiworks.
See you soon!
