So university library still has a strong resistance to open to society successfully. There is no doubt that knowledge is wealth and power and the best way to access to knowledge is to read. There are many and famous books for reading and borrowing in the library. However public Libraries in Our Country are too few. And the current situation of our country is that almost all hundreds of thousands of people have a library in many big cities.
