During the summer vacation, many people choose to go to the library, and recently many libraries have ushered in a peak of customer flow.
Shortly after the opening of the weekend, there were almost no empty seats in Shanghai's Yangpu District Library. Yellow glazed tiles, a large roof of the gatehouse, and painted roofs give the library a distinctive feature of Chinese palace architecture. The library can accommodate up to 800 readers at a time.
Xujiahui Academy, located in Shanghai's Xuhui District, also ushered in a peak of passenger flow during the summer. During the summer vacation, the closure of the children's hall of Xujiahui Academy was also extended from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m.
Fang Yunfang, Director of Shanghai Xuhui District Library: It is expected that the number of visitors will reach 300,000 in July, that is, an average of 10,000 people per day. The number of children's books borrowed reached 60% of the total number of borrowings, and 15% of the children's books were specially replenished during the summer vacation.
According to incomplete statistics, Shanghai has built 219 neighborhood libraries throughout the city.
At half past eight in the morning, at the entrance of the Guangzhou Library, although there was still half an hour before the opening of the library, many readers had already come to wait in line.
In less than half an hour, all 500 seats in the study room on the basement floor of the library were filled. The reporter learned that under the influence of high temperature in the summer, the passenger flow of Guangzhou Library has continued to hit a new high recently, so the library has appropriately advanced the opening time of some areas and increased staff to guide the passenger flow.
Lin Ying'er, assistant librarian in the self-study area of Guangzhou Library: Summer vacation is the peak period now, and the seats are usually full before 10 am every day, and they are open until 9 pm in the evening. Remind everyone to plan their time reasonably and not to occupy a seat for a long time.
Chen Shengui, Deputy Director of Guangzhou Library: Since July, we have received an average of more than 40,000 people per day, and on July 14, the number of people received exceeded 59,000, which is also a record high in the library.
The bookstore at night is also full of hot reading, and near 10 p.m., a 24-hour book bar in Shenzhen is ushering in the peak of the day's customer flow.
Zhang Xiaoyan, director of a 24-hour bookstore in Shenzhen: The state of being full, until more than 10 o'clock in the evening, people will come one after another, and the time of staying in the store has been extended.
In view of the peak of summer passenger flow and borrowing, some libraries have adjusted the borrowing rules for the convenience of readers.
