While there is arguably a limited selection regarding English texts，purchasing a famous piece of literature for as little as 10 RMB is not to be sniffed at，so it’s worth a look for the bargain-hunting book-obsessed.There is also an area dedicated to children，offering art items，games，and toys，not to mention the all-important cafe on the first floor.
To join the Zhejiang Library all a patron needs is their passport and 150RMB，and there is a fairly large selection of books in English，a great option for book lovers who don’t want to deal with the noisy shoppers in bookstores.But，for Hangzhou s premier library，you’re going to want to check out the Hangzhou Public Library .Established in 1958，the library covers 43，860 square meters and hosts more than 4，000，000 books with 2，300 seats for reading.Another great thing to remember about the Hangzhou Public Library is that a great many cultural events，talks，and exhibitions are held here，so it’s where visitors can read and experience the literary culture of Hangzhou.
