Generally, library borrowing books is free, but borrowing books requires a library card. When you apply for a library card, you must pay a certain deposit. General libraries can borrow books 1 month. If you want to extend the return time, you must take the book and library card to the library to renew it before the return time. This is just a general situation, and the specific provisions depend on the rules and regulations of each library. Rules and regulations are generally written at the counter at the entrance of the library, and the library card is also handled at this counter.

People's Republic of China (PRC) Library Law and Public Library Law stipulate that "the state establishes a convenient and practical public library service network covering urban and rural areas" and "the people's governments at or above the county level set up public libraries"; It is stipulated that public libraries should provide services to the public in accordance with the requirements of equality, openness and enjoyment.
