She is an important carrier of local culture and bears the heavy responsibility of cultural dissemination; she is an important symbol of urban civilization and y affects people's economic and cultural life; she is also a source of popular wisdom and has accumulated an extremely rich collection of human literature from ancient times to the present day. ...... Over the past 50 years since the establishment of the library, the city library has experienced many relocations. The area of the city library has been enlarged more than once, the function is more complete than once, and the equipment is more advanced than once.　


The area of the new library has been expanded nearly 8 times


Walking into the new library adjacent to Rui'an Plaza, the bright glass floor-to-ceiling windows, the curved workstations in the hall, white and beige color, revealing a hint of serenity and elegance. Walking through a room, marveling at its brightness and emptiness, everywhere you can see piles of books, or stacked high on the wall, or bundles waiting to be sorted and shelved.

"Literature is centralized on the second floor, and each person is assigned the task of sorting to shelving." "The bookshelves arrived on the 5th of this month, and all the books were completed on the 20th to guarantee the smooth opening of the library at the end of the month." From the hall straight up to the fourth floor, everywhere can be seen as if the ants moving scene, and wearing blue overalls, the curator of the White Kyaukkyo is coordinating the command of the staff to move the new home.

According to reports, the new library covers an area of 10,657 square meters (including the basement), which is nearly eight times larger than the old library located in the 1,515-square-meter science and technology building on Wansong Road. Four floors of the library, according to the concept of convenient service made special settings, including the first floor set up children's reading room, parent-child reading room, reading room for the blind, local literature exhibition halls, reports and lectures hall; the second floor set up the general service desk, lending library, newspaper and magazine reading room, recreational reading room; the third floor set up a lending room, multi-media reading room, library of local literature; the fourth floor set up the audio-visual reading materials lending room, electronic reading room, reading room, self-study.

The expansion of the area, the corresponding books must also increase. For the move, the city library invested more than 1 million yuan to buy more than 40,000 new books covering more than 20 major categories such as literature, social sciences and natural sciences. "When we were organizing the new library, we asked the new books to be shelved first. Together with the original ones, the city library now has more than 180,000 books in circulation, more than 200 kinds of newspapers, more than 800 kinds of periodicals, and about 80,000 disks of audio-visual reading materials." Bai Kyaw Kyaw estimates that the library's collection of books is still far more than that, about **** counting more than 200,000 books.

There are blind and parent-child reading rooms

Under the guidance of Bai Jiaojiao, the reporter visited each floor in detail, and the most impressive than the first floor of the blind reading room and parent-child reading room. It is reported that these two reading room is the first time to set up, aimed at expanding the beneficiary public **** culture.

The reading room for the blind is located in the library's eastern position, which is next door to a library entrance, indoor area of 40 to 50 square meters, set up books for the blind and computers for the blind. "Books for the blind are few and expensive, costing 100 yuan each; computer software for the blind also costs several thousand yuan, enough to buy a computer. These are quite big expenses for ordinary families." The new library has been set up with the needs of the disadvantaged in mind, not only purchasing special equipment, but also thoughtfully setting up blind alleys and arranging for specialized staff to serve blind readers.

One walk into the parent-child reading room, as if into the underwater world. Blue ocean pattern wallpaper, colorful children's books, colorful tables and chairs, everywhere full of children's interest. These are the library staff repeatedly discussed, carefully selected and arranged. In the middle of the parent-child reading room, a children's recreational facilities occupying one-half of the area *** more than 100 square meters is preparing to form. "After the opening of the museum, mothers can often bring their children to see the books, tell stories to the children, but also play with slides and so on." Bai Kyaw Kyaw said that by reading with their children, parents can enhance the parent-child relationship and get a direct understanding of their children's reading preferences.

Positioning leisure change borrowing books for "pleasure reading"

Argentine literary master Jorge Luis Borges said, "I have always secretly envisioned in my heart, paradise is what the library looks like." And in the mind of citizen Ms. Chen, there is also an ideal library. "On a sunny afternoon, sit on a sofa next to a glass window, order a cup of fragrant green tea, and flip through the books you've long been in love with. If you are tired, then move to the multimedia reading room, encounter a plot ups and downs and very artistic movie ......" She hopes that Ruicheng can have a place for her to spend her holiday time but also to increase her knowledge, since she returned to her hometown after graduating from the university, she searched for either a library that is borrowed and then left or a café that displays a few books, which is a great place to spend time. Since returning to her hometown after graduating from college, she has found either libraries where she can borrow books and leave, or cafes with few books. The opening of the new city library will make Ms. Chen's wish come true.

"In the past, people came to the library mostly borrowed and left, but now it's different, people can stay in the library for half a day." According to reports, the city library new positioning leisure, leisure reading room, multimedia reading room, audio-visual reading room, etc., but also equipped with a kiosk, to realize the beautiful metamorphosis from borrowing to have time to sit, from borrowing books to "read" the magnificent turn.

Not only that, the museum is also set up in the lecture hall, showroom and other places that can accommodate hundreds of people, used to carry out lectures, exhibitions and other culturally rich activities to enrich the daily cultural life of the masses. "On the day of the opening of the museum, we will organize an exhibition of writings by Shui On people." In the interview, Bai Jiaojiao also revealed to the reporter rich hometown flavor of the exhibition activities, will be collected and displayed more than 90 Rui'an people wrote more than 500 books.

Intelligent system makes borrowing and returning books better than accessing money

It is worth mentioning that the library spent more than 700,000 yuan to introduce a smart labeling system, the Department of South Zhejiang Province, the first introduction of smart labeling system of the county-level municipal libraries. "As soon as you enter the door, you can use the machine to view the 3D floor plan, check the location of the book you want to read, and it can clearly tell you which room it is on which floor." It is understood that during the renovation of the new library, a smart labeling system from a well-known company in Shanghai was purchased through the government procurement process.

With this system, readers can borrow and return books on their own, as if they were self-service bank deposits and withdrawals, reducing the trouble of queuing. "With this system, readers can also return books 24 hours a day." Previously, the book is due, readers must come to return the book within the specified working hours, now there is no such a constraint, as long as the day within 24 hours to return. The procedures for borrowing and returning books are very simple, as long as the reader presses a few keys according to the computer prompts can be.

It is also with this intelligent system, the workload of the staff to reduce many. Experienced a purely manual operation to the intelligent operation of the staff told reporters, now as long as the book catalog, according to the four corners of the number of rows of good once and for all, as long as the scanning system through a brush, you can know the position of the book there is no error. Previously, if you get a book wrong, to return it to its original position is like a needle in a haystack.

It is also understood that from the modernization of management to intelligent management, the city library has been at the forefront of the Wenzhou region. As early as the end of 1998, the entire library business departments to achieve computer network management; the end of 2002 successfully realized the library automation management system upgrade work; in March 2006, the completion of the city library website, and further expansion of the library's internal business management to the development of information and online services and other areas.
