Library@Senayan
Guys,
Last weekend i went to library@senayan. My friend said it was the british council library but now it is Perpustakaan Diknas. Actually i first saw about this library from O Cehannel. Since i like to read and books (no offense :p) so i decided to go there.
It is actually a room inside the Diknas building. Laid in the main building, you turn right from the main gate and you’ll get there.
I enter the room, i found that’s a cozy place, not so large library but supported with complete facility like references, fictions, journals, audio video, internet connection, and also BBC News (remember, its British :p). Besides the main gate of the library, there’s also a cafe (i forgot the name..is it Libido cafe heheheh) that you can enjoy food and drinks there while you read books.
I spent almost three hours there. I browse all the corners of the lib, i checked what kind of collections they have. Unfortunately guys, their collections is not what i’m looking for. Almost of the collections are British based or at least written from British point of view. I understand, that’s ex British Council. But some of them are interesting (i got the antology : Galileo Commandments). After all, i decided to read and find good stuffs in fictions and journals.
For you guys who likes to read books or just hang out in scientist environment (no offense :p) but cozy, you can find them here. It’s not traditional library that makes you bored. Anyway you can also meet many people (some of them bring their own laptop to get connection). i believe they are all smart, gaul, and most of them are young people. My friend like this place. She said its nice place to get her inspiration for her design hehehe so next time she will come here anymore.
As i know they also have some interesting events that you can join. For membership, they offer you special packages. So just come and enjoy it.
