Has the digital age created a new challenge for libraries? With the advent of ebooks, reading has become something of a digital realm. The group behind Rumah Attap Library & Collective believes that libraries are still relevant and very much needed for the fostering of literacy and education.

This week we are joined by one-third of the collective, Show Ying Xin as she explains the conceptualization of the space.
