Microlibrary Asia Afrika Kembali Ramai, tapi Belum Benar-Benar Hidup
Pameran Bandung Milestone menghidupkan Microlibrary Asia Afrika. Keberlanjutan perpustakaan masih menggantung di tengah sejumlah microlibrary lain yang sempat layu.

Salah satu perpustakaan publik fav aku buat laptopan—microlibrary alun-alun. Tempatnya adem, wifi lancar, gampang diakses transum. Semoga jam bukanya bisa makin lama dan koleksi bukunya nambah! Semoga makin banyak juga fasilitas publik yang bagus di bandung 💛

dammit I got the wrong joke! thought we were on the microlibrary.
Yes -- Pinocchio perfectly illustrates the nose as the penis of the face.
Also, lock up the cartoon woman. That's no man but a real boy!

Euy microlibrary di alun2 enak buat dipake nugas atau baca buku, adem dan wifinya lumayan. Sayang koleksi bukunya ga terlalu banyak. Semoga pemerintah nanti bisa lebih aware sama perpustakaan untuk publik.

Indonesia built a free public library from engineered timber raised on stilts, a direct translation of the traditional rumah panggung. Burundi built Africa’s specialist arts library from soil dug on the same site it stands on.
Two different continents. Two different materials. The same idea, that a community deserves beautiful public infrastructure built from what the land already offers.
The Microlibrary Warak Kayu in Semarang doesn’t charge entry. It has a hammock net where children read suspended above the ground floor. The architecture is the programme.
Africa is not short of land, timber, or earth. It is short of the decision to use them.

A library for deaf children in Burundi, built entirely from compressed earth blocks and baked clay tiles.
The hammock ceiling is hand-woven sisal rope. The floor is local clay tile. The community built it with them.
Utility doesn’t have to be ugly. Local materials prove it every time.

My cat likes to humiliate himself by making declarations in his high pitched castrato voice. He also likes to pee on my microlibrary. Idk what to make of that.

What are some health problems / conditions / symptoms that don't get much attention that you want solutions to?

oh god oh god I have a microlibrary
How does your home library stack up? In 2023 YouGov surveyed 29,000 Americans to see how many books they have in their homes. The results were disappointing to say the least.
- 0 books: 9% (no books AT ALL)
- 1–10 books: 20%
- 11–25 books: 14%
- 26–50 books: 13%
- 51–100 books: 12%
- 101–200 books: 10%
- 201–500 books: 7%
- 501–1,000 books: 4%
- More than 1,000 books: 3%

Clay shells and a stilted design turn this microlibrary into a cool, flexible meeting point for the neighborhood.
