Chapter Five Hundred and Thirtieth Book Mountain Has a Road

Once you enter the library, you will find the bag depository on the left. Bags are not allowed in the library, and small bags must go through security checks. There is a library map on the right, and the service desk is directly opposite.

Due to the extensive use of transparent tempered glass on the exterior walls, the lighting in the museum is very good. Looking up, the museum is a grand patio structure, like a pagoda, circling up layer by layer.

Meng Li pointed to the map and introduced to Zhang Zian: "Including ancient books, the renovated Binhai City Library has a collection of more than two million books, and the number is still increasing. It is the largest super-large library in our province. It can be ranked in the whole country. The library has one basement floor, five floors above the ground, and the basement floor is an ancient rare book library with constant temperature and humidity. Ordinary people can’t get in. If you want to enter, you must have relevant qualifications and a letter of introduction.”

It hurt Zhang Zian to hear that. Obviously, the ancient book library is the most likely place where elves appear. Maybe one of the books is written by the former owner of the elves, or which book mentions a certain elf for the first time, or which book has a relationship with the elves. Inextricable contacts and so on... But there is no way, he has neither qualifications nor a letter of introduction, and it is difficult to enter the ancient book library, not to mention that the use of mobile phones is definitely not allowed in the ancient book library.

"Then the other floors can be entered casually, right?" he asked.

Meng Li nodded, "The other floors are fine. We are currently on the first floor, which mainly includes the bag storage office, service desk, coffee shop, training lecture hall, and children's reading room. The service desk provides library cards and comprehensive consultation. The children's reading room is only open to children under the age of 16."

Well, he couldn't get into the ancient book library, nor could he get into the children's reading room, so Zhang Zian had no choice but to say goodbye to elves like Doraemon or Rabbit.

Meng Li continued to explain: "The second floor is the Chinese book area, which mainly includes social science, science and technology books, as well as reference books and literary novels. At the same time, it is divided into reading area and loan area. The third floor is almost the same, except that The collection is mainly foreign language original editions and photocopied books."

"Further up, the fourth floor is the Chinese and foreign language newspaper literature area, which also provides microfilm reading; the fifth floor is the digital reading exchange area, where you can read e-books and communicate with other readers."

Meng Li explained next to him, while Zhang Zian took his mobile phone and glanced at the first floor through the game capture interface. The lobby on the first floor is relatively empty, and it is clear at a glance that there are no traces of elves in either the service desk or the bag depository. The coffee shop is separated by a glass curtain wall, and there are only a few couples of young people drinking coffee and reading books inside, treating it as a cheap version of Starbucks, Zhang Zian believes that elves will not appear in the coffee shop in such a tasteless way.

As for the training lecture hall and the children's reading room, one is not open, and the other cannot be entered by him, which is useless.

Neither of them had any bags, so Meng Li accompanied him to apply for a free library card, and then asked, "Which floor does Store Manager Zhang plan to go to?"

"This is my first time here, I want to look around first, and then decide what books to borrow." Zhang Zian didn't mean to drink, and he didn't come to borrow books at all, "Mr. Meng, you are busy, please do yourself, I will Don't take too much of your time."

Meng Li waved his hand and said, "You're welcome, Manager Zhang. I'll return the book first, and then go to the foreign language preview area on the third floor to read for a while. Manager Zhang, if you have any questions, you can always go to the third floor to find me, or go to the consultation desk That's fine too."

"Okay, thank you Teacher Meng."

Meng Li went up to the third floor by himself, while Zhang Zian came to the Chinese book area on the second floor.

After just one glance, he was dumbfounded.

Only then did he intuitively understand the concept of more than two million books.

This is really a mountain of books!

In the library on the second floor, rows of bookshelves are arranged in an orderly manner, like soldiers in a guard of honor. Each bookshelf is about two meters high and is divided into six layers from top to bottom. The bookshelves are filled with books of different thicknesses and colors.

Rows of bookshelves surround the central reading area. Old, middle-aged and young readers sit on chairs and read books eagerly. Some people bring laptops or tablets to study while reading.

The hall was surprisingly quiet, only the slight sound of typing keyboards and moving chairs could be heard. Even if readers who came with them talked to each other, their voices were kept very low. Those who come to the library are all book lovers, with a very high average quality and cultivation level, and they are afraid of disturbing others.

However, perhaps because of the morning of the New Year's Day holiday, the total number of readers is actually not as many as he imagined. Basically, there are only one or two readers sitting at each table, plus those wandering around the bookshelves looking for books, the total number of readers on the second floor may Less than fifty people.

Since leaving the university, Zhang Zian hasn't been in the library for a long time, and it's been a long time since he studied seriously with a non-utilitarian attitude. He is very envious of these people, who still find time to study in the library in this increasingly impetuous society.

The library built at a huge cost is so deserted. If the leading group of the Binhai Municipal Party Committee sees this situation, it will inevitably be disappointed, but there is no way. industry.

Thinking of this, Zhang Zian's heart skipped a beat, are paper physical books declining day by day...

He thought of the elf whose power of faith was constantly passing away, it would appear in the library, and it might have a lot to do with the physical book.

He didn't have time to think too much for the time being, he shook his head, held the phone flat, opened the game capture interface and looked around.

The few readers have become an advantage for him, and the process of finding elves will be more convenient.

Holding his mobile phone, he started from the door and searched for rows of bookshelves.

Except for the different numbers, the appearance of each row of bookshelves is similar, and the books arranged on the shelves are also similar, and it is easy to get dizzy after reading for a long time. Zhang Zian was worried about which row of bookshelves he had missed, so he silently memorized the numbers of the bookshelves while walking.

Readers who were looking for books among the bookshelves thought that Zhang Zian, who was filming with a mobile phone, was an emerging career such as an anchor or er, and no one took any notice of him, and no one paid any attention to him.

Although there were many bookshelves, they searched in order. After about 20 minutes, they were all gone. Zhang Zian went around in a big circle and returned to the starting point, but found nothing.

The difficulty of capturing this elf is extremely high. He didn't expect to find it easily, so he was not discouraged. At the same time, he tried not to think about the possibility of the elf appearing in the ancient book library or children's reading room, which would severely damage his confidence. .

If he has enough time, he will definitely find a way to enter the ancient books and children's reading room, but the problem is...

Zhang Zian switched the game to the electronic map interface, and confirmed that the light cluster was a little dimmer than before.

He sighed, and stepped up to the foreign language book area on the third floor.
