Borrowing from your parents to choosing your own books, it's customary to go to the library every week
Her sister Wu Tianyi, 12 years old, is in the fifth grade of the South Campus of Xincheng Primary School, the affiliated middle school of Nanjing Normal University, and she has obtained a reader card for Jintu as early as kindergarten; her younger brother Wu Youyi is 6 years old and attends a large class in Xiaoxing Kindergarten. Jinling Library staff told reporters that the annual borrowing volume of the sisters and brothers has ranked among the top ten in recent years.

Wu Tianyi had to go to the Jinling Library every week. "She was taking a singing class at the nearby Nanjing Women's and Children's Activity Center, and after class, I would take her to Jintu to read and borrow books." Wu's father said that the habit of "soaking in the library" every week has been cultivated since his daughter was in kindergarten, but at the beginning they helped borrow it and ran once a week. Similarly, now my brother's books are also borrowed by his parents. Later, when the daughter grew up a little, she could read books by herself, and they slowly began to cultivate her ability to choose and borrow books by herself.
Jintu can borrow 16 copies at a time for a card, and they will basically borrow it each time, and then change a batch after reading it. From the perspective of reading content, the sisters and brothers look at more "miscellaneous", and read books in various fields such as science and technology and culture.
△ Wu Tianyi is selecting books
My sister is more interested in history books, and just finished reading a thick "Collection of Chinese Historical Stories" some time ago. "I like to read books because I can learn a lot of knowledge, and I can accumulate a lot of good words and sentences, which helps me win awards in essay competitions, which makes me feel very accomplished." Wu Tianyi told the Modern Express reporter. In addition to reading and studying, Wu Tianyi has many hobbies, such as doing handicrafts, painting, playing table tennis, and she also has many visions for the future.
The books selected by his father and mother for his younger brother Wu You are currently mainly picture books. Wu's father observed his son's reading stay and found that he preferred books on natural sciences, including about cars, trains, weapons, and other knowledge. During the interview, the children told reporters that he knew that the birth process of a book was very complicated, starting from pulp.
△ Jintu Children's Area
The popularity of The Jintu Children's Area on weekends is booming, and it is "just in time" for parent-child reading
On weekends, the Jinling Library Children's Area is very popular, and the arched door openings are designed between the bookshelves, and the children shuttle through them, choosing books and reading books. The Modern Express reporter found that some children and parents snuggled together and enjoyed parent-child reading time.
The Modern Express reporter noticed that in a list of "Jinling Little Bookworms" on the wall, the names of Wu Tianyi and Wu Youyi's sisters and brothers were in the forefront.
"The children's area of Jinling Library has created a relatively relaxed reading atmosphere for children." Wu's father told the Modern Express reporter that before the epidemic, the children's activity area often organized some small activities, and established a relatively harmonious and natural relationship with the children. Wu Tianyi went from being exposed to books to falling in love with reading, except for school, which started here. He believes that the environment makes it easier for children to establish a connection with books, allowing her to approach books and also allow books to enter her life.
In addition, he and his wife usually pay more attention to the cultivation of children's interest in reading. My wife is currently a PhD student and often studies some professional books on history, which has a subtle impact on the child.
