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.

Hello and thanks for reading this page. My name is Timothy and my hobby is in describing places so that I can share the information with the general public. My website has become the go to site for a lot of people including students, teachers, journalists, etc. whenever they seek information on places, particularly those in Malaysia and Singapore. I have been doing this since 5 January 2003, for over twenty years already. You can read about me at Discover Timothy. By now I have compiled information on thousands of places, mostly in Peninsular Malaysia and Singapore, and I continue to add more almost every day. My goal is to describe every street in every town in Malaysia and Singapore.
