The Pasig City Library is back in service—and looking better than ever.
Now housed in the brand-new Pasig Knowledge Center, the five-story facility officially opened its doors again on May 16, 2026.
The good news: the upgraded space is completely free and open to non-residents, too.

What’s inside Pasig’s upgraded city library?
The Pasig Knowledge Center, the city's newest productivity and education hub, is now officially on soft opening.
Pasig City Mayor Vico Sotto recently shared the news on his social media page, giving the public a first look at the massive upgrades.
The soft opening took place on May 18, as posted on the Facebook account of Pasig City Public Information Office.
The renovation took almost three years, after it was closed to the public in November 2023.
The cost, which includes basic fit-out and extension of the five-story building, is PHP87 million.
Each floor is thoughtfully designed to cater to different purposes, study styles, and age groups.
Additionally, the library also features new Information Technology system, and the Pasig Knowledge Center staff is also updating the catalogue data.
The first floor is designated as the Children’s Area—a colorful, welcoming space filled with books, chairs, and tables designed especially for little ones.
The fourth floor is dedicated to General Library Services for adults. This bright, open-plan space has specialized zones, including a cozy Periodicals nook, a Focused Study Zone, and a Computer and Digital Access Area for online research.
Finally, the fifth floor is home to the Focus and Refresh Hub. This level serves as the Reviewer Area, a spot to buckle down and get serious work done.
There’s plenty of space here to zone in, and yes, charging sockets are readily available. Even better news: free Wi-Fi is available on this floor.
Need a (literal) breath of fresh air? Step out onto the fifth floor’s Al Fresco Area.
There’s nothing quite there yet (the mayor noted a competitive selection process will be underway for a potential coffee shop or concessionaire), but it’s a pleasant spot to clear your head if you hit a sudden mental block.
In his announcement post, Mayor Vico dubbed this the “Al’s Presko Area,” but we’ll have to wait and see if that moniker actually catches on.
Note that books and reference materials are currently for in-house reading only. Borrowing them to take home isn't allowed just yet, so you’ll have to plan a return trip to finish that good read—not that you’d mind coming back to a space like this, anyway.

How to visit the Pasig Knowledge Center
Entrance to the Pasig Knowledge Center is completely free for both the Pasig City residents and non-residents alike.
All you need to do is bring a valid photo ID to present at the receptionist desk when you log in.
It is officially open from Monday through Saturday, 7 A.M. to 6 P.M.
Those who are hunting for a quiet bookish weekend can now spend their Saturdays enjoying this reading-slash-working space without spending a single peso.
Plus, Mayor Vico hinted that they’re looking into extending these already-long library hours “soon,” so we might get even more time to grind out our tasks in the near future.
The Pasig Knowledge Center is located at Caruncho Avenue, Barangay San Nicolas, Pasig City. For more information, check out the Pasig City Public Information Office Facebook page.
