No Time to Get Them Yourself?

No time to find and borrow your books or magazines before a lecture? We can get them ready for you. All you need to do is:

  • Access tp.edu.sg/library 
  • Search for the items that you want
  • Click on Sign In to see your Request options 
  • Submit your request
  • Wait for confirmation email that the item is ready
  • Pick up your item at the Reservation Pick Up locker outside the library

Book a Facility

Students can book pods for group discussions through the Campus Insights@TP platform. Each individual has a quota of 3 hours per week.

Hubs

There are eleven hubs spread across levels 4 to 5. Hubs are enclosed spaces and each hub can seat six to 10 persons. Each hub is equipped with a wireless projector and a glass whiteboard.
 

Pods

There are eight pods each on both level 4 and 5. Each pod has a sitting capacity maximum 5 persons. All pods are equipped with writing glass.
 

Presentation Room

Located on level 4, the presentation room seats a maximum of 10 persons. Students can bring their own cameras to record their presentations.

 

 

 

The library has self-check machines at Level 2 for patrons to self-borrow library materials. Enter your login ID and PIN before you start. To set up your PIN, login to your library account or approach the staff at the Loans Counter. Place the book spine on the v-shaped crevice. Receipt will be sent to your email.
Open Shelf, Periodical and Media loans are automatically renewed three days before the due date.

Maximum renewal limit: 3. After three renewals, if the item is reservation-free, you can request for a new loan cycle at the Loans Counter.

These materials cannot be renewed: Restricted loan, Hourly loans, AT devices and items with reservations.

When you are searching for books, you may stumble into some titles that are "Not Available". They are usually on loan to someone else. No problem! Submit a request so you can get hold of the book when it is returned. First, click on the title of the book.

Sign in to check your request options.

Click on Request and Send Request. That's it. You will receive an email once the item is ready for collection from the Reservation Pick Up Locker!

return kiosk

When you are ready to return the book, just pop it in the Return Kiosk or the "bin" in the wall next to the kiosk. Or you can hand it over to the staff behind the Library Loans Counter on Level 2 of the Library.
