I and many other long-time patrons of Jurong Regional Library are disappointed at the planned relocation ( , Nov 4). The regional library was last refurbished in June 2004. Even so, many would agree that the library is in extremely good condition. Kudos to both users and the National Library Board for maintaining it so well. I have seen how the interior layout has been reconfigured over the years to cater to the evolving needs of its patrons – individuals and families from all walks of life. It seems a significant waste of resources to relocate it now.  I urge the Urban Redevelopment Authority to seek and consider public opinion on retaining this library in its existing location.
