The self-service library offers free borrowing and return services for the general public. It uses a facial recognition system for entry. Visitors can also use IDs or social security cards for entry.

The library houses a total of 240 books in various categories, from law to social science and literature in Chinese and Tibetan languages.

Kalsang Lhamo, a resident of Lhasa, is pleased with the service. She lives a short distance from the library and likes reading.

"I am happy to see that we have such a convenient library in our city. It means the city is developing, and more residents will benefit from the platform," Kalsang Lhamo said.

"The library's current collection is small, but it will grow as time goes by, and I hope we will have more smart self-service libraries at various sites in the region in the future."
