Tanjung Aru Library, Public library in Tanjung Aru, Malaysia
The Tanjung Aru Library spans 62,500 square feet across seven floors, featuring dedicated sections for children, teenagers, and adults with comprehensive collections of books and digital resources.
The library opened on April 1, 2019, after receiving RM40 million in funding from Lahad Datu Water Supply and Sabah Development Bank for its construction.
Each floor incorporates design motifs that reflect the diverse ethnic communities of Sabah, connecting the modern structure to local heritage.
The facility operates from 9:00 AM to 6:00 PM Tuesday through Sunday, offering services such as e-resources, exhibition areas, and a café for visitors.
As Malaysia's first green library, the building includes architectural elements that reduce heat absorption through the atrium while maintaining environmental efficiency.
