Kota Kinabalu: A NEW City Library is being built on a three-acre plot in Tanjung Aru township and will be ready once the present building in the city centre, which has been declared unsafe, is demolished.Community Development and Consumer Affairs Minister Datuk Jainab Ahmad said the services in the present building had stopped in November 2012 following the advice of the Sabah Public Works Department (PWD).

She said the present site has been returned to the State Government which agreed to turn it over to City Hall.

"Once the new building is completed, City Hall has agreed to provide an area of 10,000 square feet to the State Library to be made into a children's Library," she said.

Jainab was replying to Luyang Assemblyman Dr Hiew King Chew during question time at the State Assembly here on Wednesday.

While waiting for the process to tear down the present building and the changing of its land status, she said City Hall will continue to monitor the building.– Hayati Dzulkifli
