SINGAPORE – Visitors to Causeway Point will be able to discover one of the most extensive collections of Singapore literature (SingLit) and local authors when a new social and reading space opens in 2028.
Called The HomePage @ Causeway Point, the space will also house one of Singapore’s largest publicly accessible collections of pre-loved library books in different languages.
This is part of efforts to promote sustainability and encourage reading, said Frasers Centrepoint Trust (FCT), which owns the mall, and the National Library & Archives Board (NLB) on Oct 22.
Visitors can browse and take home the pre-loved library books without having to borrow them.
The SingLit showcase will also include thematic exhibitions and programmes. NLB will work with the National Arts Council to curate the SingLit space, showcasing literary works and fostering greater appreciation of Singapore’s literary heritage.
FCT and NLB signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) on Oct 20 to collaborate on the planning, design and implementation of the public space, including its literary collections, community programmes and visitor experiences.
The HomePage @ Causeway Point will span over 32,000 sq ft on parts of the mall’s sixth and seventh floors, and will be part of FCT’s overall plans to revamp the mall between 2027 and 2029.
