National Central Library Introduction

The three-story semi-circular building has a beige exterior adorned with the golden letters of the Central Bookstore, making it hard to imagine that this is an old bookstore. Thoughtfully designed, the Central Bookstore retains the area with the best lighting as a seating area, combining a café and craft selections. It also features a family area and a children's book section, making it perfect for a leisurely afternoon accompanied by a cup of coffee and a good book.
