A place worth knowing

The building brings books together with cultural facilities, cafés and spaces for browsing, making it possible to spend time here without rushing through a single attraction. Remember that it is an active library, so keep reading areas quiet and follow the rules for particular rooms. This is Zikawei Library at 158 Caoxi North Road, distinct from the historic Xujiahui Bibliotheca at number 80.
