Favorite hideaways in some major cities of the region to indulge in all the lessons & inspirations a book can offer - be it an international cultural center, a library, a bookshop or a book cafe.
Lusy Aaltje: A médiathèque with helpful staff. Take your time checking the useful facilities to learn the language both actively (speaking - writing) & passively (reading - listening). On Monday, it opens at 2pm.

Library · 40 tips and reviews
Lusy Aaltje: The books are okay and the service is nice. Food? Not so much! It's good for book club meetings where the members can also enjoy free wi-fi, snacks and musics. For a quiet place to read? Go elsewhere!

Lusy Aaltje: Excellent service! If the book you want is available at the other branch, they'll get it for you - free of charge! You can wait there or at Casa restaurant upstairs. Lovely membership programs too!

Café · Singapore River · 125 tips and reviews
Lusy Aaltje: One of the places to be 'lost in time' for bookworms and coffee lovers in Singapore! I love the coffee, lovely service, sofas, books and the cakes - in that order! Price is okay for a frequenter.
