Two visitors read on one side of the floor at the Jakarta Library, in Cikini, Central Jakarta, Monday (29/8/2022).

Among the visitors who flocked to the Jakarta Library on Monday (29/8/2022) was Fatimah (26). Hailing from Lampung, she visited for the first time. The library is located in Cikini, Central Jakarta, near her boarding house.

“I will go to the library when I have something to work on, or just want to be alone. Now that this library is open, I prefer to come here because it is nearby. The book collection is complete, and the atmosphere is cool. It's a hidden gem," she said.
