hi, can i have the dress code of entering this library ?
Hi, thanks for your patience waiting for our reply.
For your information, dress code is smart and casual that follows the ethics code.
The definition of smart and causal is that:
1. It is comfortable for you and others.
2. Breathable in accordance to current weather.
Unless you’re attending any events in the library that requires specific dress codes, example:
1. Unity gala which requires you to wear ethnic clothing that you’re proud of yourself of.
2. Thematic & Exploratory
It is understandable that thematic gala are expensive, please let creativity to divulge.
To define ethics is that:
To respect everyone else albeit indifferences based in mutual agreement.
I hope this answers you.
Thank you.
