Neighborhood: Nom Phu Square
Overview

The most interesting part of the library is the building in which it is housed. This fine example of mostly untouched French colonial architecture is screened by a row of fragrant frangipani trees. The meager collection of books inside barely fills two small rooms and comprises titles in Lao, French, English, Vietnamese and Russian, a sad mixture of dated technical tomes and tired novels along with a few dusty encyclopedias and dictionaries. Books can only be read on the premises.
