As a professor at Nanyang Technological University (NTU), I teach in one of the most research-intensive universities in Asia. We have outstanding library facilities. Our libraries have more than a million print books on their shelves. Within our sprawling campus, we have seven libraries.
Singapore itself has some of the most amazing libraries I have seen. In 2019, the number of books public library users are allowed to borrow was even doubled to 32.
