ast Jakarta will soon have a modern public library with air-conditioned reading rooms, comfortable chairs and tables, sofas and pleasant outdoor scenery.
East Jakarta Library and Archives Agency head Fadlan Zurhan said the municipality had renovated a building that used to be the Pondok Bambu subdistrict office in Duren Sawit into a café-style library and data center.
“We have prepared i-Jakarta digital library and Indonesia OneSearch as tools to search for digital books in the country. We also have programs to count the number of visitors,” Fadlan said on Friday as quoted by beritajakarta.com.
Pondok Bambu subdistrict chief Syahrul Munir said the integrated library was almost finished.
“We have put the bookshelves, tables and chairs into place. There are also reading rooms equipped with air conditioners, sofas and chairs,” Syahrul said.
The library’s location is strategic and easy to access.
Syahrul said he was optimistic the place would soon be packed with people. (dev)
