A Special and Unique Library

A library is where we study and make reference. In such a place, we use our eyes to read and use our brains to analyse and understand what we read. When we want to speak, we could only whisper in order not to distract others who are studying. Thus, a library always gives us an impression that we must be quiet there. In fact, we must be so.

Alas, there is an extremely unique public library at the town in my living place where it is totally different from a classic library. It has transformed into...a "playground"!

Well, this phenomenon does not commonly happen. I was told that it only occurred during the holidays. The problem has occurred for almost two weeks since the beginning of the semi-semester holiday, and it really pissed me off.

A lot of Malay wee kids were sent by their parents to the public library. Perchance, their parents wished their children could spend their vacation on beneficial activities, and by letting their children to be surrounded by books is the best way to prevent them from wasting time on hanging around. I compliment them for doing this.

The kids were overjoyed when they went to the library. The place was big and spacious, and there were multitudinous story books available. They curiously browsed every book and when they found their ideal story book, they would sit down and dive into a sea of attractive pictures.

The library might have a nice and homey atmosphere to some kids. They chased each other and yelled there! Oh, goodness, how could they! Surprisingly, the librarians shut their eyes to that chaos. I was completely distracted by those mischievous brats.

I really could not believe that there is such a special and unique library in Malaysia. Malaysia, boleh?
