To volunteer as a Punggol Stories guide, register through the National Library Board’s volunteer portal and choose Punggol Library as your preferred venue. NLB invites volunteers to lead tours of its permanent Punggol Stories exhibition at One Punggol.
Once you register, check how to express interest in this particular role and ask about current openings, training and available dates. The exhibition has stops on three floors, so walking through it once as a visitor can help you decide whether you would enjoy guiding a group.
- Choose Punggol Library in the volunteer portal.
- Specify your interest in Punggol Stories tours when contacting NLB.
- Visit the three exhibition stops if you want to preview the route.
- Check training and scheduling before committing to a session.
Register and ask about the role
NLB’s registration form includes Punggol Library in the preferred locations list. If you already have a volunteer account, use it to check opportunities or ask how to indicate your interest. Keep the distinction between registering an interest and receiving a confirmed assignment. NLB volunteer registration
Preview the three stops
NLB lists Words That Move on Level 1, The Lens of Literature in the Sing Lit area on Level 3 and the Singaporium exhibition on Level 4. On a preview visit, note how to get between floors and which displays you would like to ask the volunteer team about. NLB’s Punggol Stories exhibition page
Ask what a session involves
Before choosing a date, ask how long tours usually run, what preparation is provided and how guides adapt the route for different groups. If you are volunteering through school, check the school’s arrangements for service records with your teacher and confirm what NLB can provide.
If you have a personal memory of Punggol, ask the team how volunteer guides incorporate personal stories. NLB’s exhibition covers older kampongs, farms and seafood businesses, so you can also browse the trail to find a display you would like to learn more about.
Frequently asked questions
