Ningbo Library

Ningbo Library, Public library in Ningbo, China.

Ningbo Library is a public library in Ningbo, China, with two main buildings: the Yongfeng Hall at 135 Yongfeng Road in Haishu District, opened on 1 May 1989, and the new building at 2100 Ningchuan Road in Yinzhou District, opened on 28 December 2018. The new building, designed by Danish firm SHL Architects, has five floors (one underground, four above) and a floor area of 31,405 square metres. Its box-like structure centres on an atrium with a mid-level corridor leading to three large open-plan areas connecting the east, west and south wings.

The library traces its origin to the Ningbo Municipal Library, which opened in September 1927 with Zhang Ruzhao as its first director. In 1931 it merged with the Yin County Library, and after 1949 its holdings were redistributed before the library was re-established in 1953 in Zhongshan Park. It moved to Yongfeng Road in 1989 and to the new Ningchuan Road building, designed by Danish firm SHL, on 28 December 2018.

The library's name changed from Ningbo Municipal Library to Ningbo Library when the new hall opened in 2018. Its special collections include the Qiaoshi Study on the fourth floor, holding more than 26,000 books, over 300 audio-visual items, around 100 calligraphy and painting works, and more than 20,000 photographs from Qiao Shi. The third floor holds a local-document collection of over 40,000 volumes and a music area with vinyl records and a recording studio.

The open interior makes it easy to move between floors without getting lost, and the sections are clearly separated. First-time visitors will find their way around quickly, as the layout is straightforward and signage is visible throughout.

The new building's ground floor connects directly to the Civic Square, and its fourth floor holds the Qiao Shi Study, containing more than 26,000 books, over 300 audio-visual items, around 100 calligraphy and painting works, and more than 20,000 photographs from Qiao Shi's personal collection.
