NLB lists a Sit-n-Read node at SAFRA Punggol from 1 November 2025 to 31 October 2026. As checked on 16 October 2026, the listing does not confirm an extension beyond that end date.
The two listed locations are the Level 3 atrium near the entrance, operating 9am to 6pm, and the Level 4 Members’ Chillax Lounge, operating 7am to 9pm. Both are at 9 Sentul Crescent, Singapore 828654.
Sit-n-Read’s pre-loved books can be taken home without a borrowing transaction, and NLB encourages readers to bring them back for others. This is different from an ordinary Punggol Library loan; follow the node’s signs and do not apply that rule to other library collections.

A reading node, not a full branch library
NLB’s Sit-n-Read announcement describes self-service spaces with changing pre-loved collections for different ages. Selected nodes, including SAFRA Punggol, also offer books in Chinese, Malay and Tamil.
Treat the visit as a chance to discover something unexpected. If you need a specific edition or a school reading title, a changing pre-loved selection should not be your only plan.
Check location and access separately
The official Nodes directory names the Level 4 area as a members’ lounge. Do not infer unrestricted access to that room from the general description of the reading initiative.
Ask SAFRA if you are unsure about entry to a particular area. The atrium and lounge have different published hours, so check the space you intend to use rather than assuming the whole club follows one reading timetable.
Digital discovery is a different process
NLB’s announcement also describes eReads screens and MagNode displays at participating nodes, using QR codes to introduce digital resources.
A QR-linked eBook is not a pre-loved physical book to take away. Follow the digital resource’s own access process and any account requirements; the absence of a borrowing transaction for the physical node does not remove digital-service conditions.
Recheck before a later visit
The published run ends on 31 October 2026. Before planning a visit after that date, look for an updated NLB listing or confirmation from the venue rather than assuming the node remains.
