The Accessible Collection at Punggol Library is on Level 1, inside One Punggol. NLB’s official social story identifies social stories, phonics books, touch-and-feel books and books combining Braille with printed text in this collection.
To find the Accessible Collection, enter the library on Level 1 and follow the signs near the Atrium and Early Literacy Zone. NLB’s Punggol Library social story places these spaces together on the first floor and provides a preview of the library visit.
For families searching for Braille books, accessible reading resources or social stories in Punggol, begin with the format and topic you need. Ask staff to help locate a suitable item, and check its availability before making a special journey for one particular title.

Choose a format that suits the reader
The collection includes different ways of engaging with a book. A family may be looking for tactile features, printed text alongside Braille, a phonics reader or a story about a familiar situation.
When asking for help, describe the practical requirement: “We would like a book with both Braille and print” is more specific than “We need an accessible book”. You can also explain the preferred subject, language and approximate reading level.
Find social stories for a particular situation
NLB lists social stories among the available formats. If you are searching for a book about a particular experience, tell staff the situation or topic rather than expecting every social story to cover the same need.
For preparing the library visit itself, use the Punggol Library social story guide. You might agree on a short sequence such as arrive, find a book, borrow it and leave, adjusting that plan to the reader’s preferences.
Preview NLB’s Accessible Collection eBook list
NLB publishes an Accessible Collection eBooks PDF with titles, creators and Libby links. Examples in that list include The Many Mysteries of the Finkel Family and The Map Challenge: A Book about Dyslexia.
Use the PDF as a discovery list. Follow a title’s link to check the current digital record and borrowing position. An entry in a published reading list does not guarantee that a physical copy is on the Punggol shelf or that an eBook can be borrowed immediately.
Ask for assistance with finding and borrowing
Bring the title or a screenshot of the item you want, if you have one. Staff can understand the enquiry more easily when you can show the exact book and explain whether you are seeking a physical or digital version.
NLB’s social story identifies borrowing stations on Levels 1 and 2. For wider access planning, our library accessibility guide covers Calm Pods and Borrow-n-Go alongside other visit considerations.
Plan one manageable reading visit
Choose one purpose for the trip, such as locating a Braille-and-print book or exploring a short list of social stories. Leave time to look through a few options instead of scheduling every part of the visit tightly.
For an unresolved question, NLB’s social story gives enquiry@nlb.gov.sg. Include the collection name, desired format and title where relevant. If you are asking about membership benefits or eligibility, identify that as a separate question so the reply addresses it clearly.
