Kuala Lumpur Library, Public library near Dataran Merdeka, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.
The central library contains over 50,000 titles, digital content, audio materials, video resources, electronic books, magazines, and newspapers in multiple languages.
The building, designed by A.C. Norman and J. Riddell in 1898, initially functioned as a government printing office before its transformation into a library in 1989.
