The Library by BookXcess near KL

Book lovers, take note: this is your sign to hop on the new ETS train from JB to KL and find your way to The Library by BookXcess at Sunway Square Mall in Selangor, just 30 minutes from Kuala Lumpur City Centre. With more than 1 million books in-store, it’s no wonder that the biggest 24-hour bookstore in Southeast Asia is open around the clock, AKA all the time you’ll need, and more, to see ‘em all.

Where is this BookXcess store?

First up – how to get yourself to The Library. While technically not located in KL, that’s the nearest major city where this store can be found. If you’re taking the ETS to KL Sentral, Sunway Square Mall is a 1 hour and 15 minute journey by public transport, and you’ll have to take both the LRT Kelana Jaya Line as well as a bus. Otherwise, call yourself a Grab, and it’s a 45-minute car ride away.

If you’re heading here right off the jet at Sultan Abdul Aziz Shah Airport, AKA Subang Airport, the car ride is anywhere from 15 to 45 minutes long, depending on traffic.
