From 1950 to 1987,1236,000 books, more than 8,000 magazines and more than 500 newspapers were collected.
Second, how did libraries develop in history? In ancient Egypt, libraries were built in temples and managed by priests.
Egyptians wrote things on papyrus, and then put paper rolls on knotted branches and put them in boxes or bookshelves. One of the most famous libraries in ancient Egypt is the Alexandria Library, which was built around 300 BC. It has hundreds of thousands of books and almost all Greek works and some oriental classics.
Caesar, the ruler of ancient Rome, first thought of building a public library. He put forward a plan to establish a public library system. After Caesar, the public library became one of the permanent facilities in Rome.
As early as the 4th century, there were 28 libraries in Rome. Later, libraries became part of churches and monasteries.
Monks also copy books when reading, so most libraries are preserved because of their efforts. At the end of the Middle Ages in Europe, cathedrals appeared and some small libraries were built in the churches.
At this time, colleges and universities also began to collect books.
Three. Was there a library in ancient China? In addition to official libraries, folk libraries also exist widely.
Specifically, it is divided into three categories, one is the college library, the other is the private library, and then the Buddhist scripture building in the temple. From the Tang Dynasty to the late Qing Dynasty, as a unique educational and academic institution in China, the Academy naturally needed a library.
The imperial bookstore of Yuelu Academy has a large collection of books so far. Private collectors also have considerable books.
Song Min, a famous private bibliophile in Song Dynasty, asked for a collection of 30,000 books, and openly allowed people who loved books to borrow them. The "Tianyi Pavilion" built by Fan Qin, an official of the Ming Dynasty, has become the oldest library in Asia. In addition, the Buddhist scripture building in the temple is not full of martial arts secrets as written in martial arts novels, and it is not only Buddhist scriptures, but also a collection of various books, which can be called a library.

5. Was there a library in ancient times? The library has a rich collection of books, which is a good place for us to read ancient books and learn knowledge.
China has a long history of establishing libraries, but there was no such name in ancient times, but other names were used. As early as the Zhou Dynasty, people paid attention to book collection.
In the Zhou Dynasty, there was already an institution called "Meng Fu", which specialized in keeping covenants, books and archives. It should be regarded as the prototype of the library. But these books are mainly about the royal family.
The royal family of the Western Han Dynasty also attached great importance to the collection of books. When the People's Republic of China was founded, Xiao He built the collections of institutions such as Shiqu Pavilion and Tianlu Pavilion in the palace, so later generations often called the Royal Library "Shiqu" and "Tianlu". Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty also attached great importance to the preservation of ancient books. He built a "secretary's room" dedicated to books collection in the palace, and collected books nationwide by official order, and all the collected books were stored in the "secretary's room".
There were also books in the Han Dynasty, such as Lantai, Shishi and Qilin Pavilion. At that time, people fully considered the importance of preserving books, and specially built a library with stones, so they named it "Stone Room", which can protect books from fire and moisture.
Because the bookcases of books in the Han Dynasty are all covered with copper, the library is often called the "golden chamber". The cause of library in Han Dynasty has made remarkable achievements, which laid the foundation for the development of royal libraries in later generations.
All previous dynasties attached great importance to the collection of books. In the Song Dynasty, Chongwen Academy was set up as a "library", and there were also places such as Tianzhangge and Longtuge to collect the works of the emperor. Wen Yuan Pavilion was built in the Ming Dynasty, and it was also the royal library at that time. Libraries in the Qing Dynasty made great progress.
Four Ku Quanshu, a large-scale series compiled during the Qianlong period, is collected in important libraries such as Wenyuan Museum, Jinwen Museum and Wen Lan Museum. In addition to the royal library, private libraries in the Ming and Qing Dynasties were also very developed.
Some celebrities often collect ancient books at their own expense and keep them in the library at home. The quantity and quality of these private libraries should not be underestimated. The most famous one, such as Tianyi Pavilion in Fan Qin in the Ming Dynasty, is well known at all times and all over the world.
Although libraries have a long history, they do not serve the public. The Royal Library is not accessible to ordinary people, while folk book collectors love books, and their books are generally not easy to display.
Jiangnan Library was the first to use the name of the library, which was built in the thirty-third year of Guangxu in Qing Dynasty (1907). This is a public library, which opens a new chapter in China Library.
What does the word "library culture" mean? 1 Overview The cultural construction and innovation of university library is of great significance in the construction of university library. It is generally believed that the construction of university library culture involves the construction and innovation of culture, library culture and university library culture. Therefore, the research on the cultural construction and innovation of university libraries should first pay attention to several aspects: 1. What is culture? Second, what is library culture? Third, what is the construction of library culture? Fourth, what is cultural innovation? In the process of cultural development, what is its relationship with cultural inheritance? 1. 1 What is culture 1. 1 There is no doubt that culture is created by people, and culture is meaningful only when compared with people. People are cultural animals or social animals from the beginning. Human history is also a cultural history, and the origin of human beings is also the origin of human culture. Man evolved from apes. Marxism believes that labor has promoted the evolution of human beings: "First, labor, and then language and labor have become the two main driving forces. Under their influence, the ape's brain gradually became the human brain ... the brain and the organs that serve it, which exceeded the development of clear consciousness, and the ability of abstraction and reasoning in turn acted on labor and language, providing them with more than new impetus for their further development. This further development. When people finally got rid of apes, they did not stop, but on the whole they strode forward, although the degree and direction of different nationalities and times were different, and sometimes they were even interrupted by local and temporary retrogression. Due to the appearance of fully formed people, a new factor-society-has emerged. On the one hand, this development has gained a strong impetus, on the other hand, it has also gained a more certain direction. " "Because hands, vocal organs and brains not only act on everyone, but also in society, people have the ability to carry out more complex activities. Put forward and achieve higher goals. Labor itself has become more different, more perfect and more multifaceted from generation to generation. Besides hunting and animal husbandry, there is also agriculture. After agriculture, spinning, weaving, metallurgy, pottery making and sailing appeared. Along with commerce and handicrafts, art and science finally appeared. From tribes to nations and countries, laws and politics have developed, and with them, religion, a fantasy reflection of human existence in the human brain, has also developed. " In the process of apes evolving into humans, the labor to meet the most basic material needs of human survival made apes evolve into humans. In this sense, labor has created human beings, and it has been changing people and making them evolve to a higher level. Due to the needs of labor, people form a certain relationship, and the production relationship generated by production activities constitutes human society, and the mode of production has become the essential force to promote the development and progress of human society. In a word, "people must have food, drink, shelter and clothes before they can engage in politics, science, art and religion."
