The lake is calm and quiet, and the winter sunset shines through the glass on the pages of the book, gently rubbing... This is a scene located in Jinyang Academy in Jinyangli Business Circle, Jinyuan District. When the soft opening began on January 1, the new academy had clean windows and 20,000 books of various colors on the warm wooden bookshelves, and the citizens scattered on the soft and comfortable sofas, immersed in the world of books.
After 1 year of planning, design and construction, Jinyang College began soft opening on New Year's Day. As soon as you enter the door, a square book tower made of log-colored bookshelves stands majestically, directly on the roof. Looking up, it was the four big characters of Jinyang Academy. This design also implies that books are the ladder of human progress.
The college covers an area of 1200 square meters, with a total investment of more than 6 million yuan, only the design fee is 600,000 yuan, a total of two floors, the first floor is placed with best-selling books, fine books, the second floor is placed children's books, history, humanities, social science books, a total of reading areas, functional areas, conference rooms, decompression cabins and other areas. The decompression chamber is still under construction and is specially set up to relieve pressure. Here, you can lie back in a comfortable chair, listen to soothing music, relieve the pressure of the outside world, slow down, and then sit down and read a book.
In addition to reading, services such as coffee and tea will also be provided here, so that the public can enjoy the long-lost reading and redefine reading.
Jinyang Academy guarantees that books are often changed and that there are sufficient sources of books, and jinyang Academy will also invite literary masters and art masters to give lectures from time to time. On May 29 last year, the college invited Zhang Jigang, a national first-class director and a member of Shanxi Yuci, to open a book club, which attracted many book lovers in the provincial city.
Xu Province, a pure land of reading, inherits and carries forward the Jinyang cultural vein - this is the original intention of the establishment of Jinyang Academy. In the future, Jinyang College will launch special study activities, open a high-tech sound library, carry out DIY printing experience, and focus on displaying masterpieces of arts and crafts masters, etc., so as to build the college into a new space for cultural activities in the provincial city. Every year on May 29th, as the open day of Jinyang Academy, a series of literary exchange and sharing meetings will be held to bring a spiritual and cultural feast to Longcheng.
