<h1>Nanhai Library</h1>
|
|
<p style="margin-top:60px;">The very first library came upon image of the library card. Name is printed at the bottom; at the top, calligraphy print of "Nanhai Library" is printed against a blue block background. The card provided me access to the Children's Reading room, where other young readers and a <a href="female_librarian.html">librarian lady</a> was my weekend company. </p>

<p>How will I verbalize the impression of childhood past, to generalize an untainted overview to audiences who have never set foot there? On the right side of the front entrance, there was a storefront owned by the library. It's been rented out to a
|
|
<a href="music_academy.html">music academy</a>; after its closure the tenancy is resumed by a bookshop specialized sales of test prep books. Heading into the entrance, the left wing of the building is the children's reading room. Facing you would be the main section of the building. To the right side, sits the right wing of the building. The volume of the children's reading room is light, comparing to the rest of the entire library. It only takes up one floor above the ground. Despite its light volume, it housed much more time of me lingering there, and realizations of growing up in age. I visited the the rest of the library once, long after when I was a child. The namely adult section looked dull to me, shelves are occupied by books covered in yellowed <a href = "kraft.html">kraft paper</a>. The ambience suggested a smell specific to libraries. After checking out a relatively new foreign novel (Steppenwolf published by Yilin Press), I never bothered to make a trip back to return it. </p>

<p>For that while during childhood Nanhai library was the only library there was. Nanhai is the name of the city, which is divided into several districts. Before grade 3 I was in a more remote district, which there were no library. There wasn't. To make sure I looked up "Xiqiao Library" online. There was an entry, on dianping.com. One of the comments remarked "Was a bookstore, bought all prep books and what not here. Had gradually dwindled later". As I saw the picture I immediately recognized it was from that bookstore my parents bought me a box set of illustrated <a href="classics.html"> The Four Classics Chinese Novels</a>. Dianping.com marked this location as permanently closed.</p>
