Libraries
are like treasure troves of knowledge, inviting readers on journeys of
discovery. They’re not just places for stories; they’re hubs where communities
come together, sharing ideas and fostering growth.
In
the heart of Taman Wawasan, Puchong, there’s a small but mighty library run by
Uncle Lee, a retired headmaster. What makes it special isn’t just its 10,000
books or its cozy spot in a public playground. It’s the story behind it all—a
story of Uncle Lee’s love for books and his desire to share that love with
others.
Meet Uncle Lee, an
89-year-old who’s loved books for as long as he can remember. Since the 1950s,
he’s been collecting them, filling his home with literary treasures.
But
instead of keeping them all to himself, Uncle Lee had a brilliant idea: “Why not share them with the
public?” With excitement and kindness, he turned his private
collection into a library for everyone to enjoy.
In a heartwarming TikTok video shared by Zestie Malaysia, Uncle Lee recounts his journey, from the early days of collecting books to the joy of seeing families flock to his mini library in search of their next literary adventure.
