Background
1. The Singapore population (Citizens only) size now stands at 3.2 million
2. NLB has a working arrangement with our Ministry of Home Affairs to download
citizens’ particulars into our database to facilitate library membership
registration and validation of particulars
3. A recent revision to a national Data Privacy policy now does not allow NLB to
maintain particulars of non-members in our library management system.
4. This has posed serious operational constraints especially in the
administration of our self-service library membership registration process,
potential increase in operating costs as well as an adverse impact on
customer service delivery in terms of convenience and accessibility.
5. The NLB Board and Senior Management are keen to explore the legislation of
the auto provision of public & national library services to Singapore Citizens.
