In Chongqing Library, citizens read books during the Spring Festival, immersed in the sea of knowledge.

CHONGQING(CQNEWS)---During the long Spring Festival holiday, many people chose to travel or visit families and friends, but there were also some who chose to read to “recharge”. Recently, the reporter learned from Chongqing Library that during the Spring Festival, Chongqing Library received more than 11,000 readers, up 11% from the same period last year.

On the morning of the sixth day of Lunar New Year, the reporter saw at the children’s reading area that there were many parents and children queuing up before the counter to borrow books. “During this Spring Festival, many parents brought their children to read in the library and sometimes borrow several books to bring home.” According to the librarian, the study rooms in the library were also popular and always fully occupied around 10:00 AM every day.

“Readers chose to celebrate the festival in Chongqing Library not only because the holiday was a good time to “recharge”, but also because of the good reading atmosphere created by Chongqing Library.” The curator of the ibrary said that to let more readers know about traditional culture, the library held activities such as “Spend Spring Festival in Library” at the Chongqing Library during this Spring Festival.
