  1. I came for benchmarking purposes.
    The service@explanation very good.

    This place is a very good place for anyone who wish to do their homework/work task in a different environment.

    You need to bring your own tab or laptop. You even can bring your own books, sit at a corner to enjoy your reading. It is a place for study/working. If u require private room for silence purposes, can contact the staff there.

    Perhaps, modern library does not require 100% silence, but as a user inside, please respect others. Chat in low voice so that not disturb others.

    There are park beside the library, make the environment more Green.

  2. A great way of encouraging people to come to the library more. Absolutely love the modern concept and the preservation done to the old building.

    Also, a cafe in a library? That’s genius

  3. It’s a nice environment to spend time, no matter its for study, working or just chilling around. Using the public area is free. There are also several meeting room where you can rent for group discussion. A cafe is available at the back of phase 2 building so you can grab some light snacks.

  4. It’s a nice place and cooling. However, there are several things that need to be looked into. I understand the floor is wooden, and that’s not very ideal. It’s super noisy, especially when people with heavy legs start walling or school students start running around looking for places to sit.

    Cleaning should be done at night after the place is close. Since it’s no longer 24/7, there is no need to disturb students doing homework or revision. There are places with cob webs by the window that are not being cleaned because students are constantly occupying the place, hence making it inaccessible. The sofa seats are also dusty at times.

    The cleaning lady isn’t very subtle in doing her job either. She’s really loud when she takes a chair out and puts it back. To sweep the floor while people are there are just rude and not to mention all those dust flying around.
    Several toilets for guys doesn’t even have a seat cover. There is a toilet roll dispenser without toilet paper in it, and no toilet papers can be found anywhere.

    Also, there are people smoking in the toilet stall, too. Not everyone does it, but once in a while, you’ll get someone that does it. It’s so bad. Management should install smoke detector to catch them really and fine them.

    A suggestion to install the “press to enter” device onto the Grand Balcony sliding door as now its on sensor mode and the sensor detects each time someone walks by it and the door will open. It’s a waste of electricity since the door keeps on opening whenever someone walks by it and does not enter it.

    I understand that this place is open to public, but there need to be some sort of rules to gatekeep the place to prevent people from abusing it. There’s one guy that will come everyday probably during weekday at 8am just when the place opens, will seat in his usual spot, turn on his laptop, and play games and sometimes even just straight-up sleeps there too during mid day. The space can definitely be freed up for someone who actually wants to study or do their homework.

    Overall, it is a very nice place to come to study or do work. I suggest going to the one next to the mansion phase 2 building to do your studying there. It’s more peaceful and quiet there, too. Just that the top part can get warm and last I went to the cubicle there, there’s no power yet to the cubicle despite the power plug being there. I urge the management to make improvements to this place as it’s a really good establishment just lack of proper management.

    The security guard here makes you stand in a line as if you’re in school if you reaches the place before 8am (opening time) and if you don’t follow what he says, he gets offended.

  5. Dont get me started. The ambience was great, im not sure whether the time I went there was perfect or maybe the people who went there really understood each other. It was so tidy and the interior and also exterior design of the building is so aesthetically pleasing to look at. I am really hoping for Kedah to open a new branch in SP as we really need it one for the people’s convenience.
