2. Books in the old library of the National Library (not far from the new library, it is a Soviet-style building) are reserved on the computer in advance with the library card (it usually takes about half an hour to get them after reservation, and no more than five books are reserved at a time). Books in the library are not borrowed, but they can be copied, not more than one-third of the whole book at a time (but I wonder why I can't copy the whole book three times? )
As for the libraries in Hong Kong and Taiwan, it is also necessary to make an appointment, but it is said that you need a letter of introduction to read books (but I have never seen it).
4. You can directly enter the Dunhuang Turpan Literature Room, and a service staff will pick up the books for you manually. You can also swipe your card and directly enter the overseas Chinese studies reference room.
There is an ancient books library in Beihai, one needs to make an appointment, and the other can only be copied by pencil, and there is no copying service, only scanning (like seven or eight yuan a page).
6. In addition, many university libraries are open to the outside world, such as Peking University Library, but they are not free, and you need to get a temporary library card when you enter the door (when I was studying in Beijing, it was 2 yuan five years ago, but now I don't know how much, and each library book costs 50 cents, which is so expensive! )
National Library of China
In Baishiqiao, south of the Academy of Agricultural Sciences, there are many ways to borrow books and a lot of books.
Beijing Book Building
It's Xidan Book Building. Many books are not discounted (but not necessarily professional). You can read it all day for free, but only if you are in good health (because there is no place to sit, after all, people sell books).
Haidian Book City &; Haidian book building
The two are very close. Haidian book building is not as much as Xidan, but it is usually 30% off. In fact, there are many bookstores, which can also be borrowed. There are many ways to charge, such as a deposit of 300 or 500 a year.
Wangfujing book building
It's also quite big, but I haven't been in it. Probably similar to that in Xidan.
Generally, there are only these three places, and other places have no advantages.
