Unisma library, Al-Maliki,  can be visited. Chairman of Nahdlotul Ulama regional caretaker  for East Java chapter, KH. Marzuki Mustamar, M.Ag, inaugurated the building on Wednesday (21/10) yesterday. The inauguration ceremony was attended by the Unisma Foundation management, rector, vice rectors, deans and all academic community.
Unisma rector, Prof. Dr. Maskuri M.Si, Â explained that the Al-Maliki Library of Unisma is a campus facility to improve the quality of Unisma’s education. The library building was built together with five other buildings namely business centers, laboratories, Islamic boarding schools, Ainul Yaqin Mosque and a 3-story parking lot.
“Alhamdulillah (thank God), we can inaugurate the library today,” he said.
The Unisma library is beautifully designed. The four-story building is a combination of the rector’s inspiration from several foreign universities in Australia, Canada, Russia, and Malaysia.
There are many instagramable photo spots. Of course it is very attractive to millennials provided in closed spaces (indoors) and open spaces (outdoors).
The concept is that each floor has a unique and beautiful design, not stiff and monotonous like libraries in general. There is a lesehan (sitting on the floor) table and a large round table.
Each floor has a different theme. The 1st floor comprises several corners namely  NU corner, a BI corner and others. There is also a library cafe on this floor.
The 2nd floor is the central library room housing a collection of many references to general and course books and the 3rd floor keeps collections of references for all faculties and graduate levels.
Chairman of the East Java PWNU KH. Marzuki Mustamar, M.Ag strongly agrees with Al-Maliki for the name of Unisma Library. He hopes that Imam Maliki can be an inspiration for the Unisma community.
“Imam Malik is a great scholar who is known as Imam Shafi’i teacher and an excellent educator who is good at rewarding his students. He is a critical scholar who is able to compile the Hadith books according to the theme. Hopefully he can inspire the Unisma community, “he explained.
He also hopes that there will be good chemistry between the library and the Unisma laboratory. “The research results in the lab are published in SNI books which were then placed in the library so that this library is also rich in scientific repertoire, “he added.
