You can take MRT Putrajaya Line and get off at Raja Uda station. Exit via Gate B and turn left, then follow the signboard for Institut Jantung Negara (IJN). The library is right across from IJN. There's a pedestrian bridge to cross the road. The main building of the library (Anjung Bestari) is still closed, so visitors need to head to the PNM Tower behind the Anjung Bestari building. Just ask any security guard around, and they'll guide you to PNM Tower. The public library area starts from the 6th floor and above. Note that lockers are not available. There’s plenty of seating, making it a great place for quiet time, reading, studying, or working. They also have individual study carrels for those who want more privacy. It's very comfortable, but also quite cold, so bring a sweater if you're sensitive to the cold. The staff are very helpful with any questions so if you're unsure about something, just ask, and they'll gladly assist you. Restrooms are available on every floor and are very clean and well-maintained. The prayer room (surau) is on the 12th floor. It's spacious, comfortable, and clean. Kudos to the management team for their good work

I love it. Having a good family time here. Brilliant idea by the library management for separating child library vs adult library. Categorize by ages: 13 above is an adult. 12 below is a child. Child cannot enter the adult library for a valid and reasonable reason. At child library the whole family can go in and books section still have readings for adult and we do not have to keep so much to the shhh silence rules. And its very near to the cafe. We can relax with other family without the need to worry about disturbing or inconvenience others. May the library continue serving it purposes and visions. Great job! Entrance fee is FREE. For a 1st timer, it is a bit difficult to find the library entrance as they are at the back of the building. This could be due to main entrance under renovation. Proper big and clear signage could be helpful to provide guidance and to avoid dampen the excitement of the new visitors. 10 min walking distance from Raja Uda Mrt station. Opposite Institut Jantung Negara, connected by a pedestrian bridge.

I'd give 3.5 stars if i could. The main building at the front is ongoing with construction works so the library is moved the parking building behind it. So if you parked near the front entrance you have to walk quite a distance to the next building. Library is accessible only on floor 6 to 9 of the building. The entrance and sensors to the book section is right in front of the lift. I went there to use the computers provided, situated in a glass room beside the entrance. Some comps may have problem with connection to the Internet, i was lucky as i was able to just move to the next vacant computer as there weren't a lot of people on weekdays. Toilets are very spacious and conducive, and accessible near the lifts. Cons for me is that it's just too cold. I STRONGLY ADVISE to bring your own jacket or sweater, that coming even from a plus size woman like me.

National Library consists of 3 buildings ie: Wisma Sejarah,Menara PNM & Anjung Bestari. I went & parked (FOC) at visitors' parking in Menara PNM (visitor parking at 6th,7th & 8th floor only). There is a prayer room at 12th floor. There's 1 staff manning the info counter with a security guard on each floor. Refer image for opening hours. Wifi (good connection) & free filtered water on each floor.Membership is free. For new members you can register online. Renewal of membership is once every 3 years at Anjung Bestari. For Non Malaysian membership is FOC,bring along your passport and you will be given a card. For Malaysian no card issued,use your IC. We can borrow max 6 books for 6 months. You can even return your books at 2 book drops located at Anjung Bestari ground floor. I LOVE IT HERE!

The main building (aka Anjung Bestari) is closed until further notice for maintenence works. Visitors who want to enjoy some quiet time reading or studying can enjoy the library space at Menara PNM in the meantime. It is located at Floor 6 to 9, called "Pusat Rujukan Malaysiana". The staff are all very friendly and helpful especially when it comes to giving directions. No lockers are provided. Consider coming from MRT Raja Uda. The walk between Entrance B of the station to the library is just a few minutes and it is mostly covered.

Library are meant to be a quiet place for study and ready but even the staff and guard were talking so loud. The food at the cafe are extremely overprice as that is the only cafe here. The public transport to here sucks, and it literally took me 1 hour of waiting to catch a bus toward nearest LRT/MRT station. I hope this message would reach out to Ministry of Transport and they would take something on it by considering us who tried to reduce number of vehicle in KL.
