We refer to Circular No. 13/2023. As informed, the Committee had undertaken works to expand the Johore Bar library at the secretariat building and at the Muar Bar Room in order to make the library more functionable and resourceful for members. The works were done through the Building, House, Library & Members’ Welfare Sub-Committee.
As part of the works, the library that was previously located in a room at the ground floor of the secretariat building in Johor Bahru is now relocated to the 3rd floor of the building and occupies the whole floor. More books, journals and online research facilities have been added on along with better workspace area for members. Space for members to conduct online proceedings and a lounge area for members to rest is also included. Pictures of the new library may be seen here. The library is now open and accessible. Members and pupils are welcome to make use of the new library.
As regards the library at the Muar Bar Room located at the Muar Court Complex, the library that was previously within the confines of the Bar Room is now expanded to the adjoining meeting room and more journals and textbooks have been added on along with online research facilities for members. Pictures of the expanded library at the Muar Bar Room may be seen here. Members and pupils are welcome to make use of the expanded library. The expansion work here was undertaken through the North Johore Affairs Sub-Committee.
As the next stage of expansion, the Committee will be looking into adding on more books to the two libraries in order to provide more resources for members.
The Committee would also like to thank all members and pupils who had assisted the Sub-Committees in the expansion and relocation works.
