Nanjing Library, Public library in Nanjing, China
The Nanjing Library spans three locations across the city, with its main building situated at 189 Zhongshan East Road and specialized sections for ancient texts.
Founded in 1907 as Jiangnan Library by Viceroy Duan Fang, the institution relocated to Chongqing during the Second Sino-Japanese War before returning to Nanjing in 1946.
The library maintains a collection of over 11 million items, positioning it as the third-largest library in China and fourth-largest in Asia.
The library operates from Tuesday through Sunday between 9:00 AM and 5:30 PM, with extended evening hours until 9:00 PM from Tuesday to Friday.
The modern facility incorporates an underground section containing preserved remnants of Nanjing's historical city wall within its architectural design.
