Little Giraffe Story House isn’t like most children’s libraries. For one thing, it’s established in a kampung house in a Chinese kampung baru, after outgrowing its modest set-up in a shipping container. The pink-and-green one-storey is a labour of love: following an initial funding of RM5,000, and a further RM40,000 worth of donations and materials pouring in from well-wishers, village residents and hardware shops, plus volunteers helping out with construction work, Little Giraffe was completed with a children’s library stacked with mostly Chinese-languge books, plus an art hall, outdoor theatre and stage, and commercial space with a café. Must-try while your kiddo reads: rojak and tauhu bakar, plus a homey platter of big breakfast like mum used to cook up, with eggs, hotdogs, and baked beans, plus toasted bread slices.
Free entry to the library and reading area.
