Perak has become the first state to introduce the "bibliotourism" concept in its public libraries in a bid to attract more domestic and foreign visitors and give a literary edge to its tourism industry.

Perak State Public Library Corporation (PPANPk) director Rafidah Abdul Aziz said the Kuala Kangsar and Taiping public libraries have been chosen as the libraries to spearhead this literary initiative.
