The Perpustakaan Kuala Lumpur, or Kuala Lumpur Library (GPS: 3.14755, 101.69267), was founded in 1989, and was originally known as the Kuala Lumpur Memorial Library (Pustaka Peringatan Kuala Lumpur). It was then housed in the former Government Printing Office building, until the present three-storey building was erected.
The present Perpustakaan Kuala Lumpur has a mini auditorium, a conference hall, a multi-purpose hall, training rooms, two exhibition galleries, Internet facilities, study material and digital reference material.

Update
December 2011: The Kuala Lumpur City Gallery opens within the Kuala Lumpur Memorial Library building.
Getting there from the Masjid Jamek station involves a bit of walking. From the station, go northwest along Jalan Tun Perak until intersection with Jalan Tuanku Abdul Rahman. Turn left, follow Jalan Tuanku Abdul Rahman south until it merges with Jalan Raja. You will see Bangunan Sultan Abdul Samad on your left while Dataran Merdeka is on your right. At the next intersection, turn left, and you will arrive at the Kuala Lumpur City Gallery on your left.
Dear visitor, thank you so much for reading this page. My name is Timothy Tye and my hobby is to find out about places, write about them and share the information with you on this website. I have been writing this site since 5 January 2003. Originally (from 2003 until 2009, the site was called AsiaExplorers. I changed the name to Penang Travel Tips in 2009, even though I describe more than just Penang but everywhere I go (I often need to tell people that "Penang Travel Tips" is not just information about Penang, but information written in Penang), especially places in Malaysia and Singapore, and in all the years since 2003, I have described over 20,000 places.
While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware. Nevertheless, I hope that what I have described here will be useful to you.
