Nanyang Polytechnic (NYP) Library’s newly renovated Lifestyle Hub was launched on 16 April 2012. Besides the addition of newly acquired Blu-Ray movies, DVD titles and the latest music CDs, the Library has also subscribed and added new lifestyle periodical and book titles.
Upon stepping into the Lifestyle Hub, Library users will feel at ease since the Library has opted for a “Nature” theme for the Hub, within the hues of browns and greens. In addition, patrons will immediately notice the enlarged seating capacity and the increased size of the new Hub. A performance stage and an interactive touchscreen display system at the main entrance whereby information contents can be viewed via the use of hand gestures and finger swipes are the main “stars” of the Hub.
Library users can enjoy a cup of gourmet coffee at the cafe within the Hub, surrounded by pillars clad in colorful graphics with designer shelves showcasing new arrivals. Other enhancements include more power outlets for students to charge their laptops, more discussion areas to discuss project works, and designer furniture for all to sit and relax in, and the availability of more PC clusters to surf the Internet and access e-learning resources.
