1 S Media Release PUBLIC LIBRARIES
s Media Release PUBLIC LIBRARIES HELP SENIORS ACCESS DIGITAL RESOURCES AND PUBLIC SERVICES WITH SDO@NLB Collaboration by NLB, PSD, IMDA and SDO to introduce senior-focused services at public libraries, aimed at ensuring digital inclusion and outreach Singapore, 23 December 2020 – The National Library Board (NLB), the Public Service Division (PSD), the Infocomm Media Development Authority (IMDA) and the SG Digital Office (SDO) have collaborated to make digital resources and public services more accessible for our seniors. The pilot SG Digital Office (SDO@NLB) at Geylang East Public Library serves as a digital satellite to bring various public services to the doorstep of seniors in the community. 2 The SDO@NLB hosts digital kiosks help seniors access over 200 selected digital government services, such as Central Provident Fund (CPF) nominations and Community Health Assist Scheme (CHAS) applications. Since the pilot started in early November 2020, seniors have made about 1,200 online transactions with various public agencies at this digital integrated public services satellite centre. 3 While all the 25 public libraries have Digital Ambassadors (DAs) to provide seniors with personalised assistance, Geylang East Public Library is the only library that offers both an SG Digital community hub and the pilot one-stop access point to public services together. This is part of the Government-wide effort to integrate and focus services around citizens, as well as foster digital inclusion. 4 Those who wish to access public services digitally can use any of the three self-service kiosks at the SDO@NLB, located on Level 1 of the Geylang East Public Library.
