Few people come to borrow books

"Is it necessary to build a new library? Look at how many people are here now? Mostly nearby residents come here to study on their own, very few people come to borrow books." On the morning of April 7th, when hearing that Zhengzhou is going to build a new library in the Zhengdong New District, a woman studying at the Zhengzhou Library said.

On the morning of that day, the reporter went to the Zhengzhou Library located near the intersection of Jinsui Road and Nanyang Road in Zhengzhou for an interview, where it was very quiet. In the electronic reading room on the first floor with 20 computers, only three or four people were browsing information. In the bookstores on the second and third floors, there were only occasionally two or three people coming to borrow or read books.
