Library for Social Democracy is an academic library that provides books, research materials and reports from government bodies and agencies. Calling Pudu its home, the library plans to democratise knowledge and discourse for the masses, as well as think of ways to slowly rejuvenate the city, without displacing the identity of the place, and its people. Research for Social Advancement (REFSA), the research institute that runs the library is now banking on the centre to be the foundation to achieve those ambitious goals.
