New 32,000 sq ft social reading space at Causeway Point will let you bring home pre-loved books for free
The HomePage @ Causeway Point is a new collaboration jointly developed by Frasers Centerpoint Trust and NLB.
A new 32,000 square foot social reading space, called The HomePage @ Causeway Point, is set to open in Singapore's Causeway Point mall in 2028. Developed as part of a partnership between Frasers Centerpoint Trust and the National Library & Archives Board (NLB), the space will house an extensive collection of pre-loved books from NLB's libraries in English and Mother Tongue languages. Unlike traditional libraries, visitors can browse and take home the pre-loved books at their own pace, promoting an exploration of titles.
The space also serves as a social hub, featuring a food and beverage area, a children's play zone for interactive experiences, and a purpose-built indoor theatre for films, author talks, storytelling sessions, and cultural programmes. The design of The HomePage @ Causeway Point draws inspiration from Singapore's heritage, incorporating elements from iconic Teck Whye HDB blocks, the former National Library building, and 1970s Brutalist architecture.
Melissa Tam, CEO of NLB, aims to make reading more accessible and foster connections with Singaporean history and identity. Frasers Centerpoint Trust CEO Richard Ng emphasized that The HomePage @ Causeway Point will be a first-of-its-kind social and reading destination, serving as a place beyond home and work, reflecting the significant long-term growth expected in the Northern region of Singapore.
