"It's so beautiful. Books are everywhere, and various modern equipment are here." Recently, Martina, who is from Austria, the heroine of the film "Steiermark Meets Wenzhou" - gave such a compliment as she entered the Wenzhou Library with us.



The newly renovated Wenzhou Library was officially opened on July 1 this year. The overall interior design of the transformed library is more tranquil and brighter. The concept of “Serving Readers” runs through all aspects of the building. The library has a construction area of 32,000 square meters and a collection of more than 4.49 million volumes of books, including more than 3.11 million paper collections (more than 190,000 volumes among them are ancient books) and 1.37 million electronic books. The library is open every day from 8:30 to 20:20 (closed on Friday morning). It receives more than 4.5 million readers a year, and the annual literature-borrowing reaches nearly 3 million copies. It is a large modern public library, a combination of culture, education, scientific research, leisure and other functions.




  For letting more foreigners appreciate the charm of the library, the “Foreigner’s Spotlight” column group of media “Wenzhoudaily” invited Huang Lei, a Wenzhounese Man, and Martina, a Lady from Styria, Austria to serve as our hosts in this episode. 



   Martina borrowed two books from the Wenzhou Library during the filming process. She said that she would finish reading them before returning home. Huang Lei and Martina are the male and female protagonists of the Sino-Austrian jointly produced short film"Steiermark Meets Wenzhou". Martina said that she has experienced so much Chinese traditional culture in Wenzhou and also has fallen in love with Wenzhou. At last, she looked forward to having the opportunity to come to Wenzhou again.
