Can't buy books The book resources of Shanghai Library are naturally very rich, but there are too few books available for ordinary borrowing at the headquarters of Shanghai Library on Huaihai Road, and many books are restricted from reference borrowing. However, there are large libraries in every district of Shanghai, such as Pudong, Jiading and Qingpu, which are not only rich in book resources, but also have distinctive buildings. Every street and town in Shanghai has a library, usually in the community comprehensive service center. Of course, book resources are much less. Shanghai library cards can be used in all these libraries, and books can be returned in any library.

Most of the books I borrowed are books on literature, history and social sciences. I don't know much about architecture and jewelry, but they should be in the specific classification of library shelves. You can consult them on the official website of the library in advance.

In addition, there is a bookstore on Fuzhou Road in Huangpu District, where there are Shanghai Bookstore, Sanlian Bookstore and many second-hand bookstores.

Read as long as you want, and end at 7 pm (but the reference book ends at 5 pm). You can get a card in any reading room on the first floor, and you should bring your ID card. You can't enter the reading room without a card. You have to pay a deposit of 100 (in fact, it is equivalent to giving him 100, unless you don't want this card) to bring things, but you don't need to bring a big bag, just use a rucksack, otherwise you will be asked to deliver the bag and it will be difficult to find an empty cabinet.
