Step into a galaxy not so far away at Singapore’s Changi Airport Terminal 3, where an extraordinary pop-up library invites Star Wars fans and curious travelers alike to immerse themselves in the iconic universe of the beloved saga. This unique Star Wars-themed library, which runs daily from 10 am to 10 pm until January 24, 2026, offers a stellar collection of over 2,000 titles spanning every corner of the Star Wars lore—from classic comics and novels to cookbooks and early readers for young Padawans.

Located conveniently on Level 2 near the Skytrain and the link bridge to Jewel, this pop-up is a collaboration between Singapore’s National Library Board (NLB), Disney, and Changi Airport Group, marking a special chapter in NLB’s 30th-anniversary celebrations. The library space cleverly combines physical books with digital resources, including eBooks and interactive screens showcasing famous Star Wars backdrops for perfect photo ops.

One of the highlights that sets this library apart is its innovative use of robotics. Visitors can select books from a touchscreen kiosk, after which a robotic arm swiftly retrieves the desired titles from enclosed shelves, delivering them directly to the collection point. This automated system not only adds an exciting, futuristic flair but also streamlines the borrowing and returning process, enabling a smooth and engaging visitor experience.

But the magic doesn’t stop at reading. The library invites fans to test their Star Wars expertise with trivia challenges, discover their Jedi or Sith persona through personality quizzes, and enjoy themed activities that bring the galaxy far, far away closer to home. Iconic droids like R2-D2 and C-3PO even make appearances for memorable photo moments.

Whether you're a lifelong Star Wars enthusiast, a family with young adventurers, or a traveler looking for a captivating detour, this pop-up library is a perfect fusion of fandom, technology, and storytelling. It celebrates the rich storytelling tradition of Star Wars while championing the joy of reading in an engaging, interactive environment.

To borrow any books, visitors can use the NLB Mobile app to scan QR codes, and returns can be made at the pop-up or any National Library in Singapore with ease, making this an accessible and welcoming portal to the Star Wars universe. This imaginative initiative not only celebrates a legendary franchise but also highlights how libraries can reinvent themselves to inspire and connect with new generations in fresh, unexpected ways. So, next time you’re passing through Changi Airport Terminal 3, may the Force—and a great story—be with you.
