Books without barriers

As China expands digital lending and accessibility services, public libraries are working to ensure reading is within reach for everyone, Yang Yang reports.

Ou Hailin, a 38-year-old media employee in Beijing, visits libraries often. One of his favorites is the Capital Library of China, which he says is continually improving its services and keeping them centered on the reader.

The latest improvement, he finds, is the digital platform it launched in September that allows registered readers to borrow books directly online.
