530 Navigating the Mountain of Books

At the entrance of the library, the left side was for depositing your bags, as no bags or backpacks were allowed in the library. The right side was a map of the library. Facing the entrance was an information desk.

As numerous temperate glasses were installed in the outer wall, the lighting was excellent inside the library. Looking up at the ceiling, the library had an atrium structure, spiraling up like a tower. 　　

Meng Li pointed at the map, and introduced to Zhang Zian, "Counting the ancient books, the renovated Binhai City Library holds more than 2 million books, and the number is growing. It's the biggest library in our province, and one of the biggest in the country. The library has one floor underground, and five floors above ground. The underground floor is used to preserve ancient copies, with controlled temperature and humidity. It's not open for public. You need certain credentials and reference letters to be allowed inside."
