According to the library source on Tuesday, approximately 3,000 readers per day visit the library to browse, borrow or return books, and every returned book is promptly sprayed with disinfectant.

A special room has also been set up for the sterilization of books, and it is equipped with electronic sterilizers which can sterilize batches of 2,000 books in an interval of 30 minutes.
