⏳ How Long to Spend:
• 30 mins – For quick admiration and exterior photography.
• 1–2 hours+ – To explore its collections, history, and unique academic focus.
If time allows, ask for a guided tour — the staff are knowledgeable and eager to share the library’s story.

✨ Whether you come for the knowledge, the architecture, or the peace it offers, this is one of KL’s quiet gems where learning meets beauty.
