What travelers say:

The New Year's Eve chose the Shanghai Library to kill time. I searched for a few books I wanted, basically all of them, and some of them have been borrowed and not returned, so I can only wait. The books are more complete. The upper and lower floors are very large, the seats are spacious and the inside is very quiet. The staff is very good at serving. Here, we emphasize the service of self-service book sterilizers, which is very necessary during the epidemic. Praise.
