In Aceh, you can find many coffee shops or cafes which are busy with young people. That's why they need an alternative place so that they don't spend most of their time hanging out.

"We are actively promoting the Aceh provincial public library as a reading mall. This is done so that people want to come while on a knowledge tour," concluded the Head of the Aceh Provincial Library Service, Edi Yandra//VOI
