The Library by BookXcess in PJ
For anyone who has ever been wide awake at midnight, staring at the ceiling and wondering what to do, the options have always been pretty limited. You could scroll your phone until your eyes hurt, or you could join the club scene and pretend you enjoy shouting over loud music.
But starting this September, there is a new choice in town. The Library by BookXcess is opening in Petaling Jaya, and it will be open all day, every day. That means you can now swap late-night boredom for a quiet corner surrounded by books.

BookXcess fans will remember the 24-hour store in Tamarind Square, Cyberjaya, which became a beloved hideout for creatives, students, and insomniacs. The Library in PJ is set to bring back that same energy. Housed in the soon-to-open Sunway Square Mall, this bookstore will welcome readers 24 hours a day. So instead of fighting for a power socket in a crowded cafe, you can settle in here with your laptop or sink into a comfy spot with a good read.
The announcement of the bookstore “that never sleeps” was shared by the mall on their Instagram.

As for what you will find on the shelves, think of it as an all-you-can-read buffet. There will be spine-tingling horror for your late-night thrills, swoon-worthy romance for your daydream breaks, and even stunning coffee table titles you will want to flip through just for the visuals.
Like other BookXcess outlets, The Library promises a creative layout that will make wandering the aisles feel like a mini adventure – think unique store concepts like maze-like shelves or themed rooms. Plus, discounted prices are here too so buying a book will not break the bank.

Located just 1km from Sunway Pyramid, Sunway Square Mall is set to become the new playground for PJ folks when it opens this September. With over 150 tenants, you could start your day picking up fresh groceries at Village Grocer and then challenge yourself to a climb at BUMP Bouldering.
You might round off the afternoon catching the latest blockbuster at TGV Cinemas or exploring the mall’s mix of dining, retail, and lifestyle outlets.
As the night winds down, most places will close their shutters — but The Library by BookXcess will still be open, ready for anyone who wants to keep their night going with a good book, a bit of studying, or simply a quiet escape from the city buzz.
The Library by BookXcess is opening this September
Some people stay up late because they cannot sleep. Others because deadlines are creeping up. And then there are students from the nearby Sunway colleges who just need a spot to get work done without being rushed out.
The Library by BookXcess is here for all of them. Whatever the reason, this 24-hour haven makes sure there is always a place for you to be.
