Taipa village public library to close permanently
The Wong Ieng Kuan Library in Taipa village will close its doors for good at the end of the year, the Cultural Affairs Bureau (IC) announced in a statement. The library, which is located at the Rua do Regedor next to Taipa village market and has been in operation since 2005, will stop operating as part of a government initiative to integrate and better utilize public resources. The IC noted that the library is of limited use since the opening of the Taipa Central Park Library (located on the basement floor of Taipa Central Park), which has better reading facilities and more space. After the closure, the premises will move into possession of the Municipal Affairs Bureau.
