The largest public library in Beijing is the Capital Library and the central library in Beijing. Located at No.88 East Third Ring Road, next to Warwick Bridge. You can take bus No.28, 638, Yuntong 107, 300, Te8, 957, 34, 5 1, 53 and 680. It is divided into eight floors above ground and one underground, with tens of millions of Chinese and English books, newspapers, periodicals, CDs and e-books, suitable for readers of all ages. The Capital Library will also hold exhibitions and lectures regularly to enrich citizens' amateur cultural life, which is loved by many readers. The second phase of the new Capital Library will also be completed this year and will be open to readers soon.

Although the National Library is the largest library in China, it is not a member library of public libraries according to its professional types. In China, only one administrative division library is a public library, such as city, county, province, district and street libraries.
