Recently, with the strong support of the Publicity Department of Weifang Municipal Party Committee and the Weifang Municipal Bureau of Culture and Tourism, Weifang Xinhua Bookstore and Weifang Municipal Library jointly launched innovative cultural initiatives to benefit the people, and launched the "Enjoy Reading - You Choose Books , I Pay" activity, and fully opened a new model of book lending of "bookstore + library".
"Citizens choose books, we pay. Stimulate citizens' interest in reading and meet their personalized reading needs. Liu Mengge, a staff member of Weifang City Library, said that through this activity, the right to choose books is handed over to the hands of readers, which can achieve the purpose of supplementing the library's collection and break through the "barriers" between citizens and libraries.
The reader is the library's book buyer, and the moment the bookstore completes the borrowing, the library pays the reader.
"The main purpose of carrying out this activity is to seek the welfare of the citizens and to do practical things for the masses with sincerity." Yu Xiaofeng, manager of Xinhua Bookstore's high-tech store, said that compared with the library, the bookstore's book category is updated faster and is available for use.
As soon as the event was launched, it received widespread attention from the public. In the afternoon of the same day, the reporter observed that in just 1 hour, 6 citizens consulted and handled. De Xiaoyuan, a clerk at Xinhua Bookstore's high-tech store, said: "Since the launch of the activity, there have been a large number of public consultations every day, and the borrowing group is mainly concentrated in middle-aged and young people, and the types of borrowing are literature, science and technology, life and other aspects. ”
"Not long ago, a reader needed "A Hundred Years of Chinese Opera", because this book is relatively unpopular, so we actively communicate with the publishing house to purchase to meet customer needs." Yu Xiaofeng said that this activity strives to benefit the people through culture and "find good books for readers and readers for good books."
The reporter learned that during the event, the public only needs to hold a Reader Card of Weifang City Library and handle credit borrowing, and then they can choose their favorite books at three stores in the downtown area of Weifang Xinhua Bookstore (New Reading Plaza Store, Weicheng Store, and High-tech Store). As long as the selected books meet the relevant regulations of the event, they can be borrowed on the spot, and each reader can select no more than 4 books per month.
The staff reminded that the scope of books selected for this activity is published after 2019, including books of ordinary Chinese such as literature and art, social sciences, and natural sciences.
