In this episode of I Love KL, we explore the heartwarming journey of Little Giraffe Story House, a community library in Cheras, founded and designed by Lee Soon Yong. Originally a small book club housed in a shipping container, the library has now transformed into a vibrant space that offers over 3,000 books along with a café and event space, all aimed at fostering a love for reading among children. Soon Yong joins us today as he shares insights on the renovation process that involves the community, and the library's role in preserving local culture while adapting to the challenges of the digital age. Tune in now as we discover how this initiative is inspiring future generations in the community, and serving as a model for community-driven projects throughout Malaysia!
