The Woodlands Regional Library (WRL; Chinese: 兀兰区域图书馆; Malay: Perpustakaan Wilayah Woodlands) is a regional public library in Woodlands in the North Region of Singapore. It is within the premises of the Woodlands Civic Centre, near Causeway Point, Woodlands Bus Interchange and Woodlands MRT station. The library has a floor space of 11,100 square metres and has 540,000 items in its collection.
Woodlands Regional Library was officially opened on 28 April 2001 by Dr Tony Tan Kheng Yam, then-Deputy Prime Minister of Singapore, Minister for Defence and MP, Sembawang GRC (who later became Singapore's 7th President). It was Singapore’s first full-fledged regional library following the prototype regional library in Tampines. Occupying four storeys and part of a basement over a floor space of 11,100 square meters in the Woodlands Civic Centre, it is a one-stop information centre for the northern sector of Singapore.[1]
