As a attraction, it serves both residents and visitors passing through Siemreap. It has no official website, so opening hours and prices are best confirmed by phone or by asking locally on the day — small businesses in Cambodia change hours seasonally and close for family events and festivals.

The easiest way to find Library;Bannalai Preah Poan Khang Tboung is by nearby landmarks. It lies roughly 0 m north of Gallery of a Thousand Buddhas, and about 100 m north of Ashtabhuja Perumal, with Hall of Echoes a further 100 m north. Drivers in Siemreap usually navigate by these anchors rather than street numbers, so naming the closest one gets you there faster than an address.

From the centre of Siemreap, a tuk-tuk or PassApp ride is the standard way to arrive; short in-town trips generally cost US$1 to US$3, and longer provincial runs are worth agreeing in advance. Rented motorbikes are widely available from guesthouses, and self-driving is realistic on sealed roads in the dry season — less so between June and October, when heavy afternoon rain floods side streets and unpaved approaches.

Library;Bannalai Preah Poan Khang Tboung is recorded as a place of worship in Siemreap. Sites of this kind are generally open through daylight hours, roughly 7am or 8am until 5pm or 6pm, with the best light and the coolest temperatures early in the morning and in the last hour before sunset. Entry is often free at local temples and viewpoints; museums, managed parks and ticketed heritage sites charge from a couple of dollars up to the Angkor pass prices in Siem Reap.

Dress modestly if the site is religious — shoulders and knees covered, shoes off inside prayer halls — and carry water, since shade and shops can be scarce. Photography is normally welcome outdoors but restricted inside shrines and galleries. Weekends and Cambodian public holidays are the busiest times, so a weekday visit means fewer crowds and easier parking.
