Causeway Point will open The HomePage @ Causeway Point in 2028, a 32,000 sq ft reading space with free pre-loved books, SingLit displays and family areas.
NLB and Frasers Centrepoint Trust signed an MOU to plan the space, which will include programmes, a theatre, food and drink, and design inspired by Singapore landmarks.
The project is part of the mall’s upgrade from 2027 to 2029, as Woodlands grows into a major regional hub with more homes, jobs and better transport links.
SINGAPORE - Visitors to Causeway Point will be able to discover one of the most extensive collections of Singapore literature (SingLit) and local authors when a new social and reading space opens in 2028.
Called The HomePage @ Causeway Point, the space will also house one of Singapore’s largest publicly accessible collections of pre-loved library books in different languages.
This is part of efforts to promote sustainability and encourage reading, said Frasers Centrepoint Trust (FCT), which owns the mall, and the National Library & Archives Board (NLB) on Oct 22.
Visitors can browse and take home the pre-loved library books without having to borrow them.
The SingLit showcase will also include thematic exhibitions and programmes. NLB will work with the National Arts Council to curate the SingLit space, showcasing literary works and fostering greater appreciation of Singapore’s literary heritage.
FCT and NLB signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) on Oct 20 to collaborate on the planning, design and implementation of the public space, including its literary collections, community programmes and visitor experiences.
The HomePage @ Causeway Point will span over 32,000 sq ft on parts of the mall’s sixth and seventh floors, and will be part of FCT’s overall plans to revamp the mall between 2027 and 2029.
Visitors can enjoy food and beverages within the community reading space, alongside interactive experiences and family friendly amenities such as children’s play zones.
It will also have a purpose-built indoor theatre and screening space for films, author talks, storytelling sessions and cultural programmes.

The upgraded Causeway Point, spanning over 425,000 sq ft, will have close to 250 stores and new community spaces, family friendly amenities and upgraded facilities will be added.
To create a uniquely Singaporean environment, the design will take inspiration from the distinctly coloured iconic Teck Whye HDB blocks, the former National Library building in Stamford Road and the geometric forms of Singapore’s 1970s Brutalist architecture, said FCT and NLB.
NLB chief executive Melissa Tam said the space marks a milestone in its efforts to grow a stronger reading culture in Singapore.
“By making reading more accessible and creating new opportunities for readers to discover SingLit and local authors, we hope to encourage more Singaporeans to embrace reading as a lifelong habit and connect more deeply with our shared heritage and identity,” she said.
Wan Wee Pin, assistant chief executive of NLB’s Experiences Group, told The Straits Times that The HomePage @ Causeway Point complements existing library offerings, including Woodlands Library which is just opposite the mall. “Together, they make reading more exciting and accessible, and we believe both will play a meaningful role in strengthening the overall reading culture in the north and in Singapore,” said Wan.
The upgraded Causeway Point, spanning over 425,000 sq ft, will have close to 250 stores and new community spaces, family friendly amenities and upgraded facilities will be added. It currently has about 230 stores.
Richard Ng, chief executive officer of the manager of FCT, said the transformation comes as northern Singapore continues to grow as a major residential and commercial hub, supported by sustained population growth and the planned addition of more than 50,000 new homes. The Woodlands Regional Centre is also expected to support over 100,000 jobs.
It is also located near the upcoming Johor Bahru-Singapore Rapid Transit System Link that is slated to begin operations in February 2027 .
He added: “As Woodlands rapidly transforms into Singapore’s largest economic hub in the north, Causeway Point must evolve to stay ahead.”

Causeway Point 将于 2028 年开设 The HomePage @ Causeway Point，这是一个 32,000 平方英尺的阅读空间，提供免费的二手书籍、新加坡文学作品展示和家庭区域。
新加坡国家图书馆管理局 (NLB) 和 Frasers Centrepoint Trust 签署了一份谅解备忘录，共同规划该空间，其中将包括各种活动、剧院、餐饮以及以新加坡地标建筑为灵感的设计。
该项目是购物中心从 2027 年到 2029 年升级改造计划的一部分，随着兀兰发展成为一个拥有更多住宅、就业机会和更好交通连接的重要区域中心，该项目也将随之升级改造。
新加坡——2028 年，Causeway Point 将开设一个新的社交和阅读空间，届时游客将有机会探索新加坡文学（SingLit）和本地作家作品最丰富的收藏之一。
这个名为“Causeway Point 的主页”的空间还将拥有新加坡最大的面向公众开放的二手图书馆藏书之一，藏书涵盖多种语言。
10 月 22 日，拥有该购物中心的 Frasers Centrepoint Trust (FCT) 和国家图书馆及档案馆管理局 (NLB) 表示，这是促进可持续发展和鼓励阅读的举措之一。
访客可以浏览并带走图书馆的二手书籍，而无需借阅。
新加坡文学展还将包括主题展览和活动。国家图书馆管理局将与国家艺术理事会合作策划新加坡文学展空间，展示文学作品，并增进公众对新加坡文学遗产的了解和欣赏。
10 月 20 日，联邦首都区 (FCT) 和国家图书馆管理局 (NLB) 签署了一份谅解备忘录 (MOU)，双方将在公共空间的规划、设计和实施方面展开合作，包括其文学收藏、社区项目和游客体验。
The HomePage @ Causeway Point 将占据商场六楼和七楼的部分区域，面积超过 32,000 平方英尺，并将成为 FCT 在 2027 年至 2029 年间对商场进行整体改造计划的一部分。
游客可以在社区阅览空间内享用食物和饮料，以及互动体验和适合家庭的设施，例如儿童游乐区。
它还将拥有一个专门建造的室内剧院和放映空间，用于放映电影、举办作家讲座、讲故事会和文化活动。

升级后的 Causeway Point 占地超过 425,000 平方英尺，将拥有近 250 家商店，并新增社区空间、适合家庭的便利设施和升级后的设施。
新加坡联邦首都区和国家图书馆管理局表示，为了营造独具新加坡特色的环境，设计灵感将来自色彩鲜明的标志性德惠组屋、斯坦福路的前国家图书馆大楼以及新加坡 20 世纪 70 年代粗野主义建筑的几何形状。
新加坡国家图书馆管理局首席执行官谭美玲表示，该空间的设立标志着新加坡在培养更强大的阅读文化方面取得了里程碑式的成就。
“通过让阅读更容易获得，并为读者创造新的机会去发现新加坡文学和本地作家，我们希望鼓励更多的新加坡人将阅读培养成终身习惯，并与我们共同的文化遗产和身份认同建立更深层次的联系，”她说。
新加坡国家图书馆管理局（NLB）体验集团助理首席执行官万伟彬（Wan Wee Pin）告诉《海峡时报》，Causeway Point购物中心的HomePage图书馆是对现有图书馆服务的补充，其中包括位于商场对面的兀兰图书馆。“它们共同让阅读变得更加有趣和便捷，我们相信两者都将在加强新加坡北部乃至全国的阅读文化方面发挥重要作用。”万伟彬说道。
升级后的 Causeway Point 购物中心占地超过 42.5 万平方英尺，将拥有近 250 家店铺，并新增社区空间、适合家庭的便利设施和升级后的配套设施。目前该购物中心拥有约 230 家店铺。
富国银行（FCT）管理公司首席执行官吴瑞德表示，随着新加坡北部人口持续增长，并计划新增超过5万套住宅，该地区正发展成为重要的住宅和商业中心，而此次转型正是在此背景下进行的。兀兰区域中心预计还将创造超过10万个就业岗位。
它也靠近即将开通的柔佛新山-新加坡捷运系统连接线，该连接线预计将于 2027 年 2 月开始运营。
他补充道：“随着兀兰迅速发展成为新加坡北部最大的经济中心，Causeway Point 也必须与时俱进，才能保持领先地位。”
