How about Shenzhen Library?

The predecessor of Shenzhen Library is Baoan County Library. The new Shenzhen Library is a large-scale modern cultural facility invested and built by the Shenzhen Municipal Government. It is located in front of the beautiful Lotus Mountain in the administrative and cultural center of Shenzhen. The new building covers an area of 296 12 square meters, with a total construction area of 49,589 square meters. The design has a collection capacity of 4 million volumes, 2000 reader seats and 3000 network nodes, which can receive 8000 readers every day.

Shenzhen Library is unique in architectural modeling, ingenious in conception and full of modernity. The architectural mode has also changed from the traditional mode to the "modular" layout with full opening, large width and no interval. Its fall has added a unique cultural landscape to Shenzhen, a young and vibrant city. Shenzhen Library pays attention to the application of new technologies and takes the lead in adopting DILAS system and RFID technology in China. ILAS is a major promotion project of scientific and technological achievements sponsored by our library, which has independent intellectual property rights and has been rated by the Ministry of Culture, with nearly 3,000 domestic users. DILAS (Digital Library Architecture Research and Application Platform Development Project) is a national key science and technology project issued by the State Planning Commission and will be put into use in Shenzhen Library.

Shenzhen Library will also become the first library in China to adopt RFID technology. The adoption of RFID (radio frequency technology) will lead to a comprehensive change in the business management mode of the library, and will also provide a strong technical guarantee for readers to effectively use the library and the anti-theft security of books. As the collection and utilization center of books and documents and the development center of documents and information resources in Shenzhen, the whole library has more than 310.3 million kinds of books and periodicals, nearly 2.67 million electronic and online documents, and receives more than 3 million readers every year. After the completion of the new library, it will continue to play the role of Shenzhen document information center and regional library network center, and build a large modern public library integrating popularization, research and digitalization, reaching the level of domestic first-class libraries and ranking among the world's advanced libraries.

According to the development of economy, society and culture in Shenzhen, Shenzhen Library takes high-tech, commerce, fashion, law, Shenzhen local literature, Taiwan, Hong Kong and Macao literature resources as the characteristic resources for collection construction. All books and periodicals in the reading area of Shenzhen Library provide open-shelf service. The whole library is divided into six service areas, the first floor is the newspaper service area, mainly reading chinese newspapers and periodicals, and a separate reading room has been opened for the visually impaired; The second and third floors are book lending areas, which provide Chinese and foreign book lending services; The fourth floor provides multimedia audio-visual services, electronic reading, information consulting services and network services for the information service area; The fifth floor is a special service area, which is divided into business, law, fashion, ASEAN information center and foreign language newspapers and periodicals area according to the types of special topics, mainly providing special literature reading and consulting services for research readers; The sixth floor is the special collection service area, which provides local literature reading in Shenzhen, literature reading in Taiwan, Hong Kong and Macao, and literature reading in books, microforms and ancient books.

It is open continuously at 9:00-2 1:00 every day except Monday, and it is open to the public for 72 hours every week. In terms of service methods, the implementation of "full openness, card-free access, hierarchical management, one line" is open to all citizens. Ordinary reading does not need any documents, and it is generally free. Printing and copying only charge the cost price.
