The second phase of the project has the 12th floor of the library building.
The new library adapts to the requirements of modern information-based and open libraries and provides multi-faceted and in-depth services. The first is to rely on modern computer network equipment to fully realize business work and office automation.

The second step is to complete the transformation from closed to open in library management and services.
