On June 1 day, representatives of Hangzhou Library, Hangzhou Children's Library, Xiling Publishing House Printing Library and book service points in various districts, counties, towns, villages and 50 communities gathered together and signed the Hangzhou Public Library Service Convention, which will provide free services for readers from now on. This is the first in China. According to the agreement, people can enjoy the resources of all libraries in the network at any service window where the agreement is signed. The most convenient thing is to go to the community. "As long as you see the community light box with the community service point of Hangzhou Library, you can query the books in the city and book the books you want to read." Shuqing Chu, director of Hangzhou Library, said. After booking, the staff will give a reply within 24 hours if they find that the book has been borrowed. If this book happens to be available, it will be sent to the community within 48 hours, and readers can borrow and return books directly to the community. At present, there are 50 community service points in Hangzhou, which are mainly distributed in the east, north and south of the city, and will increase to 100 service points next year. Temporary deposit for borrowing books 100 yuan is free. If the borrowed book is not returned, who will bear the loss? Shuqing Chu said that they had considered this issue, so they temporarily charged a deposit of 100 yuan when borrowing books, but those with family difficulties could be exempted from this fee. "Our book return period is one month, and we can renew it for half a month." Shuqing Chu told reporters, "When the credit between readers and us is established and improved, we can also cancel the deposit system."
