Lawyer Puspanathan Sellam has been extremely busy since last October, the time he first started setting up a public library in Seremban’s Sri Mariamman Temple located at Jalan Dr Muthu, Rasah.

He has been spending most of his weekends at the library, cataloguing over 1,000 books and shelving them according to genre and author.
