As part of its continuous effort to find innovative and creative ways to facilitate access, opportunity, and connection to high-quality online resources in arts and education, British Council Indonesia is delighted to officially launch its Digital Library today.

Hugh Moffatt, Country Director, British Council Indonesia said: “With the changing times, we want to continue to connect Indonesia with the best of the UK’s knowledge and resources. This new digital library has something for everyone – from Harry Potter to The Economist, to live music concerts and professional development tools and can be enjoyed anywhere, at any time.”

 “Now more than ever, it is important to facilitate cultural exchange and collaboration and we hope young and old will take advantage of this great hub for creativity and culture, and benefit from the rich resources we have gathered in this unique digital library.” Hugh continued.

British Council has a long history of having a physical library since its first established in Indonesia in 1948, before it’s closed. Embracing the digital sphere, this newly launched British Council Digital Library in Indonesia will provide users with unlimited access to thousands of entertainment content and academic resources - including online study resources, popular eBooks and audiobooks, and award-winning movies and documentaries.

Through Digital Library, we also wish to support research, online teaching, and learning with diverse content, from online academic to electronic and audiobooks. It is a gate to digital information which are free and accessible, providing a global perspective and curated materials from multiple sources in one place. 

For arts and culture enthusiasts, as a member, you can access diverse choices of popular and independent films, digital theatre, and Selector Radio in the Digital Library will unlock physical boundaries to access music and connect with UK’s music experts and artists.  (VOI)
