中國(guó)越來(lái)越重視公共圖書館，并鼓勵(lì)人們充分加以利用。 就近公布的統(tǒng)計(jì)數(shù)字表明，中國(guó)的公共圖書館數(shù)量在逐年增長(zhǎng)。許多圖書館通過翻新和擴(kuò)建，為讀者創(chuàng)造了更為安靜、舒適的環(huán)境。大型公共圖書館不僅提供種類繁多的參考資料，而且定期舉辦講座、展覽等活動(dòng)。近年來(lái)，也出現(xiàn)了許多數(shù)字圖書館，從而節(jié)省了存放圖書所需的空間。一些圖書館還推出了自助服務(wù)系統(tǒng)，使讀者借書還書更加方便，進(jìn)一步滿足了讀者的需求。

China tends to pay more attention to the public libraries and encourages people to make full use of them. The latest statistics showed that the number of Chinese public libraries is increasing year after year. Many libraries have been renovated and expanded to create a more quiet and comfortable environment for the readers. Large-scale public libraries do not only provide a variety of reference materials but also hold events including lectures and exhibitions regularly. For the past few years, many digital libraries showed up, saving space for the storage of books. To make it more convenient for the readers to borrow and return books, some of the libraries also provided the self-service system which meets the readers' demands further.
