In the small conference hall on the third floor of the West Gate of Shanghai Library, I listened to the introduction of the library, learned about the various lending services of the library, and got an overall understanding of the appearance of Shanghai Library. Then, everyone visited the audio-visual reading room, one of the collections of Shanghai Library, with great interest, where more than 200,000 records of different periods were collected. The content includes all kinds of music works at all times and all over the world, as well as recordings of speeches by some celebrities. In the meantime, the earliest music player of EMI was displayed, which opened our eyes and let us know that Shanghai Library is not only an ocean of books, but also a treasure house of music. We also had the honor to visit the China Cultural Celebrity Manuscripts Museum, and saw that the familiar books were written word for word, which made us pay deep respect to those cultural celebrities. Later, we visited the ancient books reading room, Chinese and foreign books lending room and multimedia newspaper reading room ... We can't help but sigh that the Shanghai Library has been constantly updated with the rapid development of society since its establishment. The future society is a learning society. We need to be eager for knowledge and be good at acquiring, creating and transmitting knowledge. Today's trip to Shanghai Library opened a door to knowledge for everyone.
