Library Rating
EXCELLENT Based on 105 reviews Posted on Kania HasanTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. A library that has very good atmosphere to study. There are several rooms, that air conditioned. The whole library is extraordinary big. A cafe is outside the library, but no one permit to eat and drink in library. The library has a lot of collections in many fields.Posted on Ku Nurasyiqin Ku AmirTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Love studying here but some place needs to be equipped with more plug points. Last time I returned all of the books that I borrowed, only to receive an email that one book was overdue. It turned out the book scanning machine was not really sensitive and did not detect the book. I still had to pay overdue fee despite being able to locate the book inside the library collectionPosted on Muhammad Syazwan Bin Abdul AzizTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
