Penang Children Libray

Since January 2011, I explored a children public library at Scotland Road, Penang. Instead of buying new books, we borrow books for our girl from the library every two weeks. Although the variety not as much as bookstore, but I feel that are sufficient!

I had a great experience during my first visit, the library staff at the counter are so friendly and helpful. They explained all the membership terms and conditions to me and even help to find some baby books for me.

My girl also likes to play at the toy library because of the variety of toys, such as costumes play, kitchen play, puzzles, wooden toys, basket ball, hand puppets, and many other educational toys. The best thing is there are many kids to play with her too!

Zoo Taiping and Night Safari

We brought our girl there when she was 2 years old, she enjoyed seeing all the animals. We spend almost 2 hours there.

Zoo Taiping Introduction:

Taiping Zoo is special in its own way. It is located in a lovely natural setting in Taiping Lake Gardens close to the foot of the Larut Hill (Maxwell Hill). The beautiful natural setting with streams, lakes and abundance of flora gives the zoo a unique advantage of being able to use nature to its best.

'Taman Mergastua Sultan Idris Shah' or the Taiping Zoo, which is located at the Lake Gardens in Taiping, is the only Zoo in the North of Peninsular Malaysia. Covering an area of 34 acres, the Taiping Zoo has embarked on an expansion programme which includes the building of new "Open Concept" animal enclosures. These enclosures which take into consideration the natural habitat of the respective animal, has been favourably received by the public-both for its inherent beauty and thoughtful design.

Taiping Zoo is currently home to more than 180 species of animals totalling - 1,300 individuals. These include Tigers, Lions, Elephants, Hippopotamus, Giraffes, Hornbills, Orang Utans and others. Furthermore, attempts to breed these animals have been very successful. This has seen the proliferation of such animals like the Malaysian Tiger, Lion, Siamang, Deer, Nilgai, Night Heron and many others.

Objectives:

1. Recreation

Visitors are given the opportunity to view animals in their natural splendour and at the same time relax and enjoy themselves.

2. Education

A rare opportunity is created for people to study about wildlife and get to appreciate nature.
ConservationThis important role cannot be over emphasized. Ex-situ conservation goes hand in hand wiith in-situ conservation.

3. Research

There is always something new that we can learn about our wildlife. Both professionals and amateurs can study the animals at the zoo.
