In 2019, Perpustakaan Kuala Lumpur aka Kuala Lumpur Library unveiled its new look after a RM34 million refurbishment. Administered by the city hall since ’88, Kuala Lumpur’s flagship library building now boasts new books in addition to its 50,000-strong titles, digital content such as audio and video materials, e-books, e-magazines and e-newspapers, computers and private rooms, workspaces (hey, it’s like a free co-working space!), and even interactive play areas for children. Tip: Located right next to the historic Dataran Merdeka in the heart of the city, it’s easily accessible via bus, LRT and MRT.
