On the third day of the Lunar New Year, readers lined up to enter the Shenzhen Library.
On February 22nd, the first day after the Spring Festival holiday, there was a long queue in front of the Shenzhen Library, all of which were young people. This is not queuing for red envelopes, not business promotion, but the opening of the library! The citizens passing by here were deeply shocked and praised by friends: "This is Shenzhen! Do you have any reason not to work hard? "
In fact, this scene will appear almost every day during the Spring Festival holiday. It has become a common choice for many Shenzhen citizens to spend a year in Shenzhen Library.
The 7-day Spring Festival holiday in Shenzhen Library was packed.
On the afternoon of February 22, the reporter came to Shenzhen Library late at night and found that the reading area on each floor was packed. Many sofas were newly changed last year and filled with readers. In front of the Shenzhen Library, there is an elegant Spring Festival couplets: "Reading is the best thing in the world for a hundred years", and "Happy New Year" is widely criticized. People are constantly taking pictures in front of the door. The staff told reporters that from the beginning of the New Year's Day, there will be a long queue at the gate of Shenzhen Library at 8: 00 every morning, and there will be no interruption during the Spring Festival. The reading enthusiasm of Shenzhen citizens is really touching.
The reporter met Li Tongxue of lotus middle school on the big steps. He told reporters that he came to the queue early in the morning and spent the whole morning reading in the library reading room. I went out for lunch at noon, and when I came back, there was no place, but I couldn't bear to leave the library, so I sat on the steps and read. He called coming to the library a "spiritual journey". Every holiday, he will choose to come to the library to read for a day or two, and the New Year is no exception.
Zhangyan, director of Shenzhen Library, said that the enthusiasm of Shenzhen citizens for reading and studying can be seen from the long queue at the library gate. It is worth mentioning that the whole readership is young and full of vigor. According to big data, readers aged 19 ~35 account for more than half. From 20 13 to now, the business data of Shenzhen Library has been growing steadily, which makes them very pleased and feels that their work has been recognized by readers. On the other hand, it also shows that even in the new media era, the value of the library as a public cultural space can never be covered by borrowing and returning books.
Zhangyan also added that she saw the pictures taken by her domestic counterparts through the WeChat circle of friends. Taiyuan Library, Jinling Library, Ningbo Library, Hangzhou Library, etc. There is a phenomenon that citizens choose to go to the library to charge on holidays. It has become a common sight for citizens to go into the library for vacation in more and more cities, which shows that the leisure and vacation style of Chinese people is more rational and the cultural connotation is constantly improving.
During the Spring Festival, nearly 90,000 books were borrowed.
A series of data provided by Shenzhen Library can reflect the reading enthusiasm of Shenzhen citizens from another aspect. According to reports, during the 7-day Spring Festival holiday, the Shenzhen Library received more than 50,000 readers, and the number of visitors on the fifth and sixth days exceeded 1.2 million. Many students and young people are busy "charging" in the library, and the children's service area receives more than 3000 readers every day.

I like the scenery of this Spring Festival
In most people's cognition, the Spring Festival is equivalent to the crowds in supermarkets and the dazzling array of goods in shopping malls, which seems to have nothing to do with bookstores and libraries. During the Spring Festival holiday, it has become a common choice for many Shenzhen citizens to spend a scholarly year in Shenzhen Library. During the 7-day long holiday, Shenzhen Library * * * received more than 50,000 readers, and the number of people who entered the library on the fifth and sixth days exceeded 1.2 million. Many students and young people are busy "charging" in the library, doing homework and reading books. Just as some netizens lamented, "On the first day of work, I met people waiting in line at work, winding around for several times, and all of them were young people. Merchants don't queue up to receive red envelopes, not to promote sales, but to wait in line for the library to open. This is Shenzhen. "
The importance of reading is self-evident. Since the Enlightenment, it has become the best way for many parents to educate their children by letting their children have more contact with books and drawing ideological nutrition from them. The cultivation of reading habits will accompany one's life. Therefore, strengthening reading awareness is extremely important for forming a good habit of lifelong reading.
The biggest function of the library is to create a cultural atmosphere in which the whole people read a book individually, and to form the collision and exchange of knowledge, which is of great significance to the construction of urban culture. Three or five friends came to the library to share books together. That kind of spiritual pleasure is obviously not as good as the fun of playing games in internet cafes. As a city with a population of tens of millions, the overall knowledge structure of Shenzhen citizens has an important impact on Shenzhen's modernization and internationalization.
With the improvement of economic level, the living needs of people in Shenzhen are also changing due to the rapid development of this city. Reading is a way of life, but it is not only a way of life, but also a way of social evolution. Compared with economic indicators, the national reading index is more related to the long-term competitiveness of the city.
To some extent, more and more people choose to go to the library for Spring Festival and other holidays, which is also a metaphor of urban development: culture is becoming the new engine of economic transformation and development. If every Shenzhen citizen keeps reading every day, then the city of Shenzhen will continue to emerge with cultural vitality, which is a blessing for the construction of Shenzhen's cultural industry and brings immeasurable social value to the development of the city.
When more and more citizens are willing to get close to books, take the initiative to go to libraries and bookstores to celebrate the holidays, and get together for all kinds of "happy" reading activities, they have built a new urban fashion of "reading when they meet" and created a cultural beauty of "books overflowing Shenzhen". For Shenzhen, this is a rare human wealth.
