The appearance of library is the need of preserving human cultural heritage. Because of the library, the experience, culture and knowledge gained by human social practice can be systematically preserved and handed down, which has become a valuable cultural heritage and spiritual wealth of human beings today.

2. Carry out social education.

The appearance of modern large-scale industry requires social people to have more labor knowledge and skills, so the library really enters the common people and shoulders the task of educating people with scientific knowledge and culture. In modern society, the library has become the base of continuing education and lifelong education, and has undertaken more educational functions.

Transmitting scientific information is an important function of modern libraries. Rich, systematic and comprehensive library information materials have become the material conditions for libraries to engage in scientific information dissemination. In the information society, the scientific information function of the library will be strengthened.

4. Develop intellectual resources.

The books and materials collected by the library are a kind of intellectual resources accumulated by human beings for a long time, and the processing and processing of these resources by the library is the development of this intellectual resource. At the same time, the library provides these books for use, which is to develop the intellectual resources of library users. In other words, the library undertakes the function of cultivating talents.

Ni, member of Beijing CPPCC and director of the Capital Library:

The report of the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China pointed out that culture is the blood of the nation. It is necessary to enrich people's spiritual and cultural life, promote the project of benefiting the people through culture, and safeguard people's basic cultural rights. We should improve people's cultural quality and self-cultivation to serve China's economy, politics and society and the long-term stability of the country. Carrying out reading for all is a very important aspect of promoting the project of benefiting the people through culture. As a place for people to read, the library naturally plays a role in enriching people's spiritual and cultural life.

In order to give full play to the social education and lifelong education functions of the library, the concept of "four centers" is put forward, that is, the library should become the learning center, cultural center, communication center and experience center of the broad masses of the people. We do library work, not just by definition, but as long as it is conducive to improving the knowledge level and cultural literacy of ordinary people, no matter what activities, service methods and service contents, libraries can explore and innovate.
