Bangkok Library Digital library and information center for Bangkok, Thailand

Thailand Knowledge Park (TK Park) includes a lending and reference library, mini-theater, and digital technology center. The library has an attractive, modern appearance that befits its location in a popular shopping mall. Its shelves are well-stocked with new books and magazines in Thai and English, and there are many computers for visitors to use. It is located on the 8^th floor of the Central World shopping complex, close to SF World cinema and Central Food Hall.

TK Park Library is very popular with Thai visitors, frequently very busy, and has sensibly been zoned into several distinct sections, namely

• Living Library (main collection)
• IT Library
• Music library
• Children's Library
• Quiet Nook

The largest zone, referred to as the Living Library, covers an area of more than 1,500 sq. meters and has more than 30,000 books and 200 journals and magazines, including many titles that are difficult to find or prohibitively expensive in most Thai bookshops and newsagents. There are many computers in this zone, most of them used by young children to play computer games, with or without their parents' supervision.

The IT library has a wide selection of books in Thai and English for all ability levels, from novice computer users to system developers, computer programmers, and network administrators. Although not designated as a quiet study area, it is much quieter than the main zone and is a good place to read a book or work on one of several computer workstations.

The Quiet Nook is a place for quiet study and research from more than 800 reference books. It also has a number of computer workstations where students can use the Internet to search for resources and information.

Living up to its name, the Music Library has everything about music. It has books about singing, playing musical instruments, and the music industry. MP3 players, sheet music, and even musical instruments (keyboard and guitars) are available for visitors to use.

The Children's Library is an area for young children to read, play games and engage in activities. The library has the appearance of a kindergarten and adventure playground, with a child-friendly work center, central play area, and honeycomb seating for the more adventurous children to climb up into.
