Community Reading Corner

Community Reading Corner is a reader development initiative of the National Library of Malaysia, supported and coordinated by Pustaka Negeri Sarawak. Physically, it is a room or part of a room or part of a hall, equipped with bookshelves, reading materials, a reading place and fans. It is to be used as a self-service information resource centre by the community where it is set up.
