What is a library? Oh, yeh. I remember those. 

Seriously, when was the last time you saw a Thai person reading a book?  Or anyone else for that matter.

Good idea.  A viable alternative to speak easies and pool halls.  Book stores are open 24/7 in Taiwan.   And, yes some information is not on the Internet.  

The odds makers will be taking bets on how long before a young girl will be raped there in the late hours while the security guard sleeps.

Just another place for Thai's to go for air conditioned comfort to mess about on their phones. Books, what books? I thought this was a rest area.

I suspect they have a lot of comic books and Mangas in there,

that's what the average Thai reads.
