Our company’s self-service book sterilization machine has been installed at the Shanghai Library East Branch, China’s largest single‑building library.
Release date:
2022-09-30
On September 28, 2022, the East Branch of the Shanghai Library, located in the Pudong New Area of Shanghai, officially opened to the public. With a total floor area of 115,000 square meters, it is currently the largest single‑building library in China. The facility features 22 themed reading spaces, a smart cultural‑creative zone, and team‑work studios, lifelong learning rooms, and quiet reading pods distributed across all floors. It offers inclusive, equitable public cultural services for all age groups, while also providing highly targeted, personalized experiences. As a smart, multifunctional library for the digital‑reading era, it integrates resources spanning book and documentary information, scientific and technological innovation, social science think‑tank research, and local‑history studies. Annual visitor numbers are projected to reach 4 million.
With such a massive readership, ensuring reading health naturally becomes the top priority.
It is a great honor that the self-service book sterilization machine manufactured by our company has stood out among numerous leading domestic manufacturers and been installed at the East Branch of the Shanghai Library, thereby safeguarding the reading health of Shanghai residents.

Readers who use the book sterilization machine
If a library is the city’s living room, then the East Branch of the Shanghai Library is undoubtedly the most elegant and airy of them all. Upon entering the East Branch, you’ll find an atrium designed to flow seamlessly from top to bottom, evoking the “slim, perforated, and translucent” qualities of Taihu rocks. Standing in the atrium, you can look up to glimpse reading spaces of diverse functions, spread across every floor and facing in every direction.
The long staircase on the first floor leads straight to the reading plaza on the third floor. Rather than locating its core library services on the ground floor—as is customary—Shanghai Library’s East Building has situated them on the third level: a spacious, double‑height reading area where large, angled windows frame the surrounding scenery, inviting readers to immerse themselves in the beauty of their surroundings.

Beyond its modern, avant-garde design, the East Branch of the Shanghai Library boasts many other highlights. Let’s explore the charm of the East Branch together:

The East Branch of the Shanghai Library is more than just a repository of books—it’s a vibrant hub for learning and intellectual exchange. With its inviting reading plazas, quiet study rooms, seminar spaces, self-service photocopying facilities, themed halls, and a host of engaging exhibitions, it firmly establishes itself as a world-class urban library. Personally, I find that both its architecture and its offerings are worth revisiting time and again. If you’re interested, I’d recommend setting aside a full day to explore the East Branch in person—you’re sure to find it well worth your visit.
