The Beibei Library (simplified Chinese: 北碚图书馆; traditional Chinese: 北碚圖書館) is a Chongqing-based public library in China, located at No. 26 Park Village, Beibei, Chongqing. It was originally named the Gorge District Library,[1] founded by Lu Zuofu on May 27, 1928.[2] At its inception, it had an area of 499.5 m2 (5,377 sq ft) and a collection of more than four hundred books.[3] It is the most complete collection of newspapers and magazines published during the Republic of China period in the whole of China.[4]
Beibei Library is a national first-level library[5] and a national key unit for the protection of ancient books in China.[6]
History
[edit | edit source]After the end of the Second Sino-Japanese War, Beibei Library received a gift of nearly 10,000 volumes of news weeklies from the United States Information Agency.[7]
In November 1945, Lu Zuofu merged Minsheng Company Library, Public Library of Beibei Administration, and Library of the West China Academy of Sciences to form the "Beibei Library".[8]
