The building is located in the Canal Cultural Square in the north of Hangzhou, with a building area of 3,000 square meters. Its purpose is to inherit culture, popularize knowledge, transmit information, enjoy resources and meet people's cultural needs such as novelty, knowledge and pleasure. There are many service windows for readers, such as library registration office, book lending office, newspaper reading room, electronic reading room, readers' study room, children's reading room, audio-visual classroom and lecture hall. Among them, there are more than 200 reading rooms, more than 200 lecture halls and more than 60 computers, and the designed book collection capacity is about 6.5438+0.5 million volumes, which is an important place for residents in the area to study, entertain and receive education.

The second floor of the library, as the Canal Literature Branch of Hangzhou Library, specializes in collecting canal books, newspapers and periodicals from all over the world, and has a canal literature display research room for information exchange, dynamic research and the excavation, sorting and research of various materials. Through the collection and creation of digital materials for several years, the library will form a digital thematic library of the canal, which is expected to become a digital information center of canal culture serving experts, scholars and readers of the national canal literature and history.

Under the guidance of the service concept of "equality, openness and public welfare", the district library respects the purpose of "people-oriented and sincere service" and implements the one-stop service of borrowing, collecting and searching. Open 65 hours a week, and strive to provide readers with convenient conditions for acquiring new knowledge, new information and new technology. A series of free services, such as free internet access, free storage, free accreditation and free boiling water, were introduced. There are various activities with rich contents all year round, among which "Miaomiao Paradise", an activity for minors, is very popular among young people.

The accumulated book borrowing volume exceeds 700,000, and more than 800,000 people visit the library (nearly 1000 people on average every day).

In order to provide people with more convenient services, we constantly improve the service network system of public libraries. At present, the basic construction of our district has formed a regional cultural information resource service network centered on Gongshu District Library. Thirty-three community libraries have been built in the whole region, and the service system of "one certificate for all" has been implemented. Public library service outlets all over the region have become an indispensable cultural and leisure ideal place for ordinary people in their daily lives.

In order to turn Gongshu District Library into a large study room for ordinary people and a leisure learning orchestra for citizens, the library has adopted a number of designs that are close to the people and convenient for the people: first, it has created a variety of spacious, bright, comfortable and pleasant learning and reading environments for readers, and has rendered an inspiring atmosphere by creatively arranging famous sayings such as "knowledge is power", making the arc reading corridor a knowledge corridor; Secondly, the service guide on the multimedia touch screen system is used to provide readers with services such as book collection inquiry, new book introduction and reading guidance. Once again, the outdoor landscape platform on the second floor will be used to integrate the water, bridge, boat, port and indoor library of the canal, so as to facilitate readers to overlook the railing and enjoy their body and mind when they are visually tired. In addition, the whole library is barrier-free and equipped with elevators for the disabled. The newly-built district library has three characteristics: First, it is located next to the China Grand Canal Museum next to the Millennium Grand Canal, with profound historical and cultural accumulation, obvious regional characteristics of the canal, elegant environment and convenient transportation. We can take advantage of the relative concentration of the two libraries and complement each other to make the trend bigger and stronger. Secondly, on the east side of the second floor of this library, there is a special canal collection hall, which collects canal books, newspapers and periodicals from all over the world, and there is also a canal literature exhibition research room for information exchange, dynamic research and sorting, excavation and research of various materials. Through the collection and creation of digital materials for several years, the library will form a digital thematic library of the canal, which is expected to become a digital information center of canal culture serving experts, scholars and readers of the national canal literature and history. Third, the "One Certificate Pass" project for secondary books (electronic information) in cities and districts jointly created by our library and the municipal library. Municipal libraries provide library network resources support and mobile library service to realize local "borrowing and returning". Extending to the community (village) through the network can provide high-quality and convenient public cultural services for the people in the jurisdiction. Serving readers is the aim of our library, and striving to create a good service environment and improve readers' satisfaction rate is the starting point and end result of our library's work. We will innovate ideas and organize lectures, exhibitions, reader forums and other reading activities; Organize books to go to the countryside and provide grassroots services from time to time to provide rich "spiritual food" for the masses; Provide guidance and counseling to town, street and community libraries on a regular basis, so as to gradually standardize grass-roots libraries; Recommend excellent books and periodicals for readers, guide the general public to read more books and improve the utilization rate of books and periodicals in the library. Organs, enterprises, institutions and communities in the jurisdiction can make an appointment by notice and enjoy the centralized on-site accreditation service of our library.
