Tampines Regional Library was first opened on 3 December 1994 by Dr Aline Wong, then-Senior Minister of State for Education and Health. It was temporarily closed at its premises at Tampines Ave 7 on 4 June 2017, with 3 June 2017 being its last day of operations before the relocation.

The library was officially re-opened on 5th August 2017 by Dr Yaacob Ibrahim, Minister for Communications and Information. The new library is among a suite of community services provided at Our Tampines Hub and continues to serve the Tampines community. Situated close to the Tampines MRT station and bus interchange, the library covers a floor area of 10,900 square metres.

The Children’s Chinese collection at Tampines Regional Library is made possible by the generous contribution of the Chou Sing Chu Foundation.

The five-story establishment of the Tampines Regional Library is without a doubt one of the coolest libraries in Singapore! Located at Tampines Hub, the newly improved TRL holds well-designed, spacious sections, where each floor features amenities such as; maker spaces, an exhibition gallery, outdoor reading gardens and a culinary studio.

It is completely worth your time to drop in here and check out their original add-on inclusions — exercise bikes where readers can jazz it up by working out at the same time, free video editing and 3D printing services, hands-on cooking classes, engaging storytelling sessions, and interesting programmes on offer for attendance. These and more are cherished highlights of the TRL experience.
