New children's library in Shanghai opens doors

Founded in 1941, the Shanghai Children's Library was relocated to 962 West Nanjing Road in 1958 and has been serving generations of readers over the past decades. The branch on West Nanjing Road will remain open along with the new one.

Due to the current COVID-19 situation, visitor numbers to both venues will be capped at half of maximum capacity. Those entering the premises must make reservations before their visit and show a valid health QR code, according to the library's administration.
