Recently, Sunshine New Study, a new community library offering public cultural service,  was established in the west of Hangzhou.

Across the floor-to-ceiling windows, you can see rows of neat wooden bookshelves, light gray wall decorations, white tables and chairs, sofas made of cotton and linen fabrics, and warm lights. The 5,000 books of all kinds in the library are connected with Hangzhou Library, which means they can be borrowed and returned in all Hangzhou’s public libraries.

Not only are there traditional paper books, but the biggest feature of this library is also "sound". In addition to listening to equipment, the study has a “reading booth”, so that everyone can become a reader.

In addition, the library also focuses on meeting the spiritual and cultural needs of residents in the surrounding communities. It holds at least one activity every month like the activity of reading Chinese classics for the students on holidays.
