Yogyakarta Public Library

This is the first and only library we managed to see in Java.  Jakarta was massive and too hard to get anywhere, and Bandung, no one understood what a public library was!
This library is small, and limited to newspapers and local history but is on the famous street of Marliboro.  The librarian warned me all the books were only in Indonesian or Dutch!
