There are at least 200 books collected by Agus Dwiyanto on issues such as demography, fertility, migration, urbanisation, governance and public policy, that are displayed in this venue. “This collection of books may inspire us - the next generation - to keep learning and broadening our knowledge,” said Head of the Centre, Dr. Agus Heruanto Hadna, on Tuesday (9/5).
