The newly refurbished Century Square will boast a virtual library of e-books through a digital wall when it reopens to the public in the second quarter of 2018.
This comes after AsiaMalls Management inked a memorandum of understanding with the National Library Board to provide such virtual library to allow shoppers easy access to eBooks at their leisure.
“As we planned for the mall, we wanted to include technology that would bring value to the community around us,” said AsiaMalls Management managing director Tan Kee Yong.
“In line with the Smart Nation Initiatives to digitally transform the country, this first-of-its-kind virtual library will enhance the shopper experience at Century Square by providing shoppers with the convenience of borrowing e-books within a retail space.”
“Libraries are such an essential part of everyday life, and for anyone who loves to read, they will be well-served with all the eBooks available from the Century Square virtual library. This partnership with the National Library Board will mark the beginning of our initiatives to use innovation to better serve the community at hand.”
Aside from the virtual library, the National Library Board will also hold events and activities targeted at children and to promote reading at Century Square.
The Century Square virtual library is set to go live in Q2 2018, during the mall’s reopening.
