CITY OF LIBRARIES

Library Network The Shenzhen government began to implement its strategy of building a city of libraries in 2003. Since then, a pioneer library network with rich resources, modern facilities and convenient services has taken shape and expanded. There were 633 public libraries in the city by the end of 2013, including three city-level libraries, eight district-level libraries and 622 branches of city- and district-level libraries and community reading rooms. There also are 200 self-service book-lending machines offering 24-hour service on city streets. The goal of establishing one community library for every 15,000 people has been realized. A citywide library network led by the city-level Shenzhen Library, formed by district-level libraries, and completed by community reading rooms and 24-hour automatic book-lending machines has been formed.

Unified Service Platform All 212 public libraries in the city and the 200 self-service book-lending machines are connected by a network that provides unified service to readers citywide. The network is being expanded to include other public libraries. These public libraries, carrying the logo of "City of Libraries," share resources within the network. Through this network, readers can access the resources of all libraries with one library card.
