Tan Sri Abdul Majid Library is the place that I’ve spent most of my time in INTI when I have no class. In fact, when I was in primary school or even secondary school, I didn’t like to go to the library very much because it is so boring. However, when I went to INTI, I became a “frequent guest” of the library!
Why I Became A “Frequent Guest” of The Library?
I admit that I’m not that hardworking student…and most of the time, the purpose of going to the library is not for reading or borrowing books, but for its environment and facilities.
Tan Sri Abdul Majid Library has three levels. However, the third level is not open to anyone, so I never went there before.
Introduction of The Levels
When you walk in to the library, your position is at the level 2 of the library. In front of the entrance, there has a stairway to the level 1 of the library.

Level 2 Facilities
1.Quiet Zone 
2. Laptop Station 
3. Discussion Rooms 
4. Textbooks 
5. Net Zone 
6. Circulation Counter
2. Place for those who bring their laptop.
3. Place for a meeting or do some discussion.
Minimum 4 people.
Need to register at the circulation counter and leave student cards there.
4. The books sorted by each subject.
5. Free for using computer.
6. For borrowing or returning books, register for using discussion room, and others.
I will stay on level 2 because its environment is quieter and it’s less likely to be disturbed. In this level, my favourite area is the net zone. It’s very convenient for me when I need to do something urgently, but I forgot to bring my laptop.
Level 1 Facilities
1. Business Gurus and Leadership Series 
2. Quiet Zone 
3. Chill Out Zone 
4. Individual Study Zone 
5. Group Study Zone
2. Quiet zone
3. Zone for relaxing which can play some indoor board games
4. Areas for study individually
5. Areas for group studying
Besides that, level 1 also has other facilities, such as interactive room, viewing room, and also discussion room. There also has daily newspaper provided at level 1. In this level, I think the most interesting area is the chill out zone, because some of the games which provided at there is very interesting for me. Besides that, according to my friend who in the other course says that the environment of the interactive room is very comfortable, the students are sitting on the bean bag sofa and listening to the teacher.
Outside of Library
Book Chute
The book chute is to provide students to return the library materials. Book chute service available during library closure only.
What Do I Usually Do in The Library?
Usually, if I’ve brought my laptop, I will listening to music while completing my assignment. Sometimes, I will also see some movies or variety show when I was nothing to do. When the exam was near, I will also stay in the library to revise. However, please notice that the library will soon be full during the period.
Notice!
- DON’T speak louder in the library.
- NO food or drinks allowed in all areas.
- Return library materials on time.
- During exam week, please come earlier to have a good seat.
- If you want to stay in the library for a few hours, kindly remember to bring your jacket, since sometimes the library is a bit cold.
Opening Hours

Extension of Opening Hours
Since I didn’t live in hostel, usually I will not stay in the library for too late. However, according to my friend who live in hostel, she says that the library will extended the opening hours during the exam week. Generally, it will be extended to 24 hours. I also heard it for the first time. The updated opening hours can be found on the library website.
