What’s the longest you’ve ever stanned a pop star? How about half a century? 🤩
Friends, classmates and fans came together this past Wednesday for the launch of the Chin Whai Private Papers Collection. The event celebrated the music, literature and art of Singapore’s “King of Ballads” Chin Whai, as well as the friendships and fanships that have lasted for decades.
We were treated to reminiscences of Chin Whai’s prolific career in the arts and letters, alongside academic perspectives on the cultural impact of his extensive body of work. And even after 50-odd years, people were still clamouring for an autograph from this living legend! ✍️🌟
A celebration of a remarkable collection of cultural significance, and the people and memories behind it. ❤️

What if a library collection could become a game? 🎮📚
That’s exactly what happened at the NUS Libraries Collections Game Jam 2026, organised in collaboration with the NUS Games Development Group!
Over a week, participants dug into our collections, transforming historical maps, newspapers, photographs, archives and other collection materials into short, playable digital games. Along the way, teams learned the basics of game-making, experimented with ideas and brought their collections-inspired concepts to life.
The Game Jam culminated in a final showcase, where the best games were selected. 🏆
Who knew library collections could be this much fun? 😉✨

Aren’t libraries supposed to just shelve books? 📚
That may be a function of a library, but not its purpose: to connect communities and ensure equitable access to knowledge.
The Temasek Foundation-NUS Heritage Champions Showcase held by NUS Libraries on 5 Sep spotlighted 10 student-led community heritage projects documenting Singapore’s lesser-known history, from the ice cream hawker trade to Singapore’s Southern Island communities.
