Pros:
1. There is a family membership package which is very, very cheap! RM5 per year subscription and each family member can borrow up to 4 books per time. I got 3 books for myself and 3 for Shanna.
2. Convenience of renewing - borrow period is 2 weeks and renewal can be done over the phone! In case one forgets to renew, the late charges won't break the bank at 10 cents a day per book.
3. Not huge, but quite a reasonable selection of adult and children English books.
Cons:
1. To get there, one needs to brave through Greenlane traffic. We went on a Saturday morning at 10am and even then the traffic was heavy!
2. There is a rather musty smell at the children library building.
I'm happily reading the Tash Aw book I borrowed. Shanna is also enjoying the 3 books I borrowed for her, flipping through it often and asking us to read to her.
On a side note, we're really proud that our little girl is learning more letters now. She learnt 'O' since she was quite young... and in the past 2 weeks, she's learnt letters 'A'-'J'. We use Leapfrog Fridge Phonics that we got quite cheaply on eBay while in US and she happily sways to the music while learning her letters :) She has also learnt to 'read' more words besides 'ball', she knows 'dog', 'Daddy', 'no', 'apple', 'more', 'children', 'stop'. We use Peter and Jane flash cards and she gets excited when she sees the same words in her books.
Shanna's a real bookworm. Like her Mummy who is reading both library book (Silk Harmony Factory by Tash Aw) and Kindle book (Nefertiti by Michele Moran) now :)
She knows it is 'chou chou' (smelly) thing to put the tail into her nose. Whenever we remind her she gives this embarassed smile.
Right after being reminded, the tail is stuck into her ear instead...
