However, if you are a book lover who equally loves the Tamil language, perhaps you could head to Sentul, Kuala Lumpur, to visit the Muthamizh Tamil public library.
The low-key establishment is more than 60-years-old, with a collection of over 20,000 Tamil books from local and overseas publications. The books encompass various genres, from literature to novel, to works of fiction and history, among others.
Facebook user Vinod Mahendran have highlighted the existence of the library in a post on his page, which has garnered almost 2,000 shares as of the time this article was written.
According to Vinod, the library is very well taken care of, despite its age.
"The librarian, Ms Vasuki was very happy to welcome me to the library.
"She was very soft spoken and shared many things about the library. Sadly, it seems only the older people tend to visit this library, and not youngsters," he wrote.
