I was wondering if there are any public libraries in Jakarta. Or is there a place that can lend out picture books for children?

Thanks in advance!

There are public libraries, but they are in a rather sad state even by Indonesian standard. Your best bet would be the former British Council library.

Thanks Injun! Its location is also convenient-- it's practically around the corner from our apartment! :)

Could you please let us know how good the library is? It's always nice to get an update :)

For sure I'll give ya'll an update. I was about to pack a suitcase full of books, but I guess I don't have to do that now. Thanks again!
