After more than 10 years of operation, the library@esplanade will close on June 30 this year.

Copywriter Benedicta Foo also feels affected by the closure and said that she will always remember borrowing CDs by indie bands to rip for her personal listening because shopping for non-mainstream music was difficult back in the day. Today she still listens to some of those tracks because they’re not available on Spotify.The library was also a special and safe space for budding musicians in Singapore, as concertgoer and musician Illya Natesa recalls.
