Qihang 1977 Shuka is located in Longkou Middle Road, Tianhe District, Guangzhou City.

On Sept. 2, Qihang 1977 Shuka, located in Longkou Middle Road, Tianhe District, Guangzhou City, officially opened. It is reported that this is the first shared book reading space in Guangzhou. Unlike traditional bookstores, this bookstore emphasizes "sharing" and social interaction. The books in the book cafe are not lent out. Citizens can donate idle books, exchange coffee coupons or other consumption in the bar, or store their favorite books in the book cafe, come to the book cafe to read books, meet friends with books, and build their own "circle of friends" through books.

The "terraced Reading" area is available for free.

"Qihang 1977 Book Cafe" is close to South China normal University, and a green book wall built with three tons of physical books in the lobby is quite eye-catching. It is reported that all the books in this wall are donated by the public. On the whole, the bookcoffee is divided into three spaces: the Bandu coffee area, the terraced reading area and the theme study area.

Among them, the "terraced Reading" area is for the public to read free of charge. The seating configuration in the district is flexible, and members of the public can sit reliably in the district, and they can even conduct small-scale parent-child reading activities. The most special in the book coffee is the six theme study, which are named after "Spring and Autumn", "Han Tang" and other periods with the richest and brightest culture in Chinese history. The study decoration of different themes is also different, suitable for friends to get together, or suitable for team discussion. It is reported that the use of theme study needs to be rented.

The bookcoffee operator revealed that the bookcoffee is building an online booking platform, where citizens can turn the bookcoffee into their own private study, friend living room and team training place in just a few minutes, realizing the sharing of books and space resources. In addition, Shucaf é encourages every book donor to leave his or her own reading experience and contact information, so that citizens who come to Shucaf é can make friends through books. In the future, all kinds of reading and reading sharing meetings will be held regularly in Shucaf é to realize the sharing of readers' experiences.

"sharing Book Cafe" promotes the whole people to read

Compared with e-books, physical book reading still has irreplaceable charm. However, at present, the operation of many independent bookstores in Guangzhou is difficult to rely solely on book sales, so Shucaf does not intend to purchase new books, but to make citizens become "sharers" and make friends with books by sharing books. on the one hand, it can improve the utilization rate of books as much as possible, on the other hand, it allows readers to find reading fields and professional peers they are interested in through the information left by "sharers". Realize the "link between people" with books.

Zhou Ming, director of the library office of South China normal University, believes that the semi-privacy, theme, comfort and sharing of shared bookstores and libraries are not available in existing bookstores and libraries. Through "sharing", shared book coffee helps to improve the pertinence of book classification, management and reuse, and makes "professional books"alive". In the future, we can also consider establishing a connection between community bookcafes and university libraries, so as to realize the "mutual feeding" of resources and benefit more people.

At present, the state is vigorously advocating family reading, parent-child reading, ladder reading, and establishing and improving the reading support system for the people. The Wushan area where the book coffee is located, including a number of universities and scientific research institutions in Guangzhou, there is a strong demand for reading and social communication. Through the promotion of "shared book coffee", it will better promote the reading of the whole people.
