China Art Museum, public library and cultural center will be fully open for free.
150,000 to 20 million, which is already very powerful. A considerable part of these funds are used to buy new books, maintain facilities, organize activities and hire staff. Fan Wenxiang, deputy director of Shanghai Putuo District Cultural Bureau, said.
In Shanghai, the proportion of the elderly over 60 has exceeded 20% of the registered population, and free public cultural places have become the "spiritual home" for many elderly people. Some cadres of grassroots neighborhood committees told reporters that community cultural centers and neighborhood committees are equipped with libraries. Rong said: "The community library has also created a' collective reading' environment for the elderly, which is better than the atmosphere in which the elderly read books alone at home. This is like reserving a cultural space for them to communicate. "
The Significance of "Free" in Three Libraries
The publicity of cultural places such as libraries and art galleries is the trend of modern civilization in the world, and the most direct manifestation of publicity is that the service objects of cultural places are no longer limited to specific classes, but begin to expand to a wider social crowd, so that ordinary people can conveniently enjoy the fruits of human civilization and be influenced by knowledge, ideas and culture.
It is not the size or scale of libraries and art galleries that measure the level of public cultural services in a place, but their distance from the public and the convenience for the public to obtain services. Public cultural places are not to be an external landscape for viewing, but to truly become a popular lifestyle, and culture is life.
Free opening and lowering the threshold are commendable, and it is also important to build more public cultural sites and rationally allocate facilities and resources. The quality and quantity of public cultural places in China are still insufficient, so it is necessary to further increase cultural investment, continuously meet the cultural needs of the public and ensure the realization of equal cultural rights.
