China Daily  

Visitors read and drink in a model teahouse inside Beijing Library. In the first 88 days since opening, Beijing Library had received a whole million readers in all, and now its annual number of visitors has already exceeded 3.7 million. In collaboration with libraries from eight provinces and municipalities along the Grand Canal, the Beijing Library launched activities such as intangible cultural heritage exhibitions, cultural and tourism exhibitions, with a most significant of them being themed "The Grand Canal in Poetry and Prose", which initiative allowed participants to explore canal cities and retrace the path of the Grand Canal. In the new year, the Beijing Library will also host over 1,000 sessions of reading activities that include reading guidance for readers so young as being infants, marking the beginning of newborn reading. Mao Yajun, director of the Capital Library, stated that in the new year, the Beijing Municipal Library will provide top-notch service management to offer readers a first-class reading and cultural experience.
