Libraries are about Freedom. Freedom to read, freedom of ideas, freedom of communication. They are about education (which is not a process that finishes the day we leave school or university), about entertainment, about making safe spaces, and about access to information.

About us:

We are an independent library in the heart of the hustling city of Bandung, Indonesia

We curate and manage collections, host literary and community events, facilitate creative space for writers and artists, and advocate for more and better libraries in Indonesia.

― On average, Indonesians read around 27 pages of a book a year.
