The first cartoon library on China's mainland has been opened in Dongguan City in South China's Guangdong Province, catering for thousands of young cartoon fans.
The newly established library covering 600 square meters of floor space houses 20,000 cartoon books, over 30 varieties of cartoon periodicals and more than 2,000 disks of cartoon stories and clips.
Wu Yuan, a member of the library staff, said the library had selected popular cartoon figures from China, America, Japan and the Republic of Korea, such as Spiderman and Monkey King, to provide kids with healthy cartoon publications and free access to borrowing items from the collection.
