As a country with a young and growing population, China is investing heavily in public libraries to support public education, innovation and entrepreneurship. For example, the City of Shenzhen recently hosted the country’s first international summit on public libraries. China develops libraries to appeal to specific audiences and support specific industries – in Shenzhen the jewelry, printing and fashion industries. As the need for library services continues to grow, China continues to research inventive and imaginative ways to meet the need.
