I am willing to make blind dates with poems and books, learn to get together and argue.

-Xiaoshuguan

I went to Hangzhou to meet my friends at the weekend. After leaving hangzhou east railway station, I went straight to Xiaoshuguan, the only tourist landmark on this trip.

Xiaoshuguan is located in Liangzhu Cultural Village, Hangzhou. Its curators are the famous slash youth Gao, Tadao Ando's design, pure mass reading brand, Yoshinoya Sakura in advance, Vanke's roof culture ... These literary labels have long burst in the circle of friends.

"Make a heart for heaven and earth, make a life for the people, link the past with the future, and be peaceful for all generations", which is the feeling of every scholar's home and country. Running a library is this ideal.

"Building a house is surrounded by people, but there are no chariots and horses." I stayed in the small library for two hours. I can't help but sigh that this is an idyllic reading place and a literary aesthetic space, which is worthy of the reputation of "the most beautiful paradise library".

What is more commendable is that it is beautiful but not unattainable. The area is not large, and the books are not vast, but everything is just right. "Small and beautiful" volume can simply become the standard in the real estate industry.

Watching the children reading on the second floor, I imagined that if the small library opened to Majiapu area, I would often take Gao to study every day.

It is the sincerity of the small library to bring the true meaning of reading to everyone through the sharing of a book and a life experience.

Appointment:

In order to ensure the flow of people, the small library opens 300 reading places every day. Be sure to make an appointment on the website, WeChat or Weibo in advance.

The opening hours are from 9: 00 to 20: 00 on Sunday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday (closed on Monday).

It is open from 9: 00 to 22: 00 on Friday and Saturday, and two time slots can be reserved.

Transportation:

Xiaoshuguan is located in Liangzhu Culture Village, more than 30 kilometers away from hangzhou east railway station, and the rail transit is very convenient.

? From the East Railway Station, transfer to the subway 1 Line Fengqi Station, get off at Liangzhu Terminal, walk 1.8km, and take a taxi at the starting price.

Liangzhu New Town is still under construction, and the subway faces a large construction site and a charming humid climate.

Along the dark green billboards, Xiaoshu Library is surrounded by the greenery of nature and exudes a sense of freedom away from the hubbub.

The fertile land is opposite, and the mountains are in the distance.

Big roof culture

The home of the small library is in Liangzhu Cultural and Art Center. This building is called "Big Roof". It was designed by Tadao Ando, a famous Japanese architect and known as "fair-faced concrete poet". The overall style is really super fair-faced concrete!

How do public libraries raise funds? In the introduction, you will see Vanke's brand. I wonder if it's the gold master behind it.

The big roof brand covers almost all the first-line cultural brands, and it can be expected that the future will be a new cultural growth point.

Guan Shu Jr. is on the right-hand side of the entrance to the big roof.

Make an appointment in the newspaper, keep your bag, and apron volunteers will hand in your library card.

? The small library was originally a community library in Liangzhu village, and now it also respects the villagers.

When you step into a small library, the first feeling is that the size is comfortable. Without credentials, the sea of books is boundless.

I guess the poster must have been shot with a wide-angle lens.

? The small library has two layers of atmosphere, and the questioned 10-meter-high bookshelf is also a wall.

Outside the floor-to-ceiling window is a shallow water, and a row of dyed Yoshino cherry blossoms is planted on the shore. Suddenly it began to rain and splashed on the water.

Tables and chairs, sofas, tatami cushions, you can sit anywhere, read a good book and watch the flowers bloom and fall outside the window. Really, as the saying goes, "The years are quiet."

? It is said that there are 50 thousand books in the small library, and the curator's books are all in the front desk, the most eye-catching position.

Reading the curator's book for the first time. Remember a few knowledge points, such as: American holidays are on a Friday every month, which can automatically generate small holidays. There is also the era that Teacher Gao wants to travel back to most.

Victory and defeat are of the same origin, and today's history is all-encompassing, but breaking up is really a trivial matter.

The first floor of the small library is reading materials such as literature, history and psychology. There are some books about painting and architecture on the desk.

? There is a surprise on the second floor, all picture books. There are many parents who take their children to school. A father fell asleep reading a book? .

If Xiaoshuguan is a scenic spot, there will naturally be a group of photographers visiting here, but if you can read with peace of mind after taking pictures, you will never be disturbed by the footsteps of taking pictures.

This is a place suitable for quiet study.

? After leaving the small library, I think every city and every large community should have a big library where you can sit and lie down, see the scenery outside the window and read quietly.

In this way, we may find the distance between Mr. Gao's poems and reading.
