kuching's national library

The girls and I jog near the library,  picnic near the library and pass by the library all the time since we came to Kuching but only last week we stepped into the library.  That too was because on that very heavily rainy day,  Hajar and I had alot of time on our hands before Aishah finish work.  We ran a few yards  in the rain to reach the entrance from the parking lots. The  library area is  very huge and very green,  right beside a very lovely lake.

Wow! I am impressed.  On the ground floor is the multimedia hall where we can use the PCs, very high-tech.  At the lobby,  there are two entwined elegent staircases made out of light green glass curving up to the reading hall on the first floor. So those in skirts, please go up quickly. The reading hall is well, 'lush'. Large hall, wall to wall carpets of dark warm hues, exhibits of paintings, thick heavy books, solid book stands , nice chairs and tables, sockets for laptops, and the best part, the glass panes look out to the waters of the wide lake, so serene and calm.

Hajar loves the gardening books. I love it all, since books, lakes, greeneries, these are my favourite things. There is a cafe too, if we need to take a break from all the reading or studying.

Now I feel like going to the library everyday and lose myself in all the books and forget about all the cares in the world.....
