A COMMUNITY library tucked within Kampung Melayu Majidee, Johor Baru, has shown how one person’s old book can be another person’s new adventure.

The Sultan Ismail Library (PSI) Kampung Melayu Majidee branch, run by Johor Baru City Council (MBJB), organises a book exchange programme twice a month, where the public can donate books and pick out pre-loved ones to take home.
