A small building on Nanchang Road became a "library" founded by several young people three years ago. The facade is not very eye -catching, and passers -by may be attracted by the window of "books and not reading". The small characters on the side of the window sill tell the people: "We are a library, books on the window sill, if you like it, you can take it home or read it at will. If you are willing to pass your likes, you can read it here."

On July 11, 2019, as the first private member library in Shanghai, the "Library at first sight" quietly opened on Nanchang Road. Without commercial propaganda, it gradually opened its popularity. In November last year, the first branch of the "Library at first sight" landed at Pudong Biyun Sports and Leisure Center.

Three years later, the Nanchang Road Museum of "Library" decided to close. When I heard the news at the 3rd anniversary event, members felt sorry and reluctant, and someone shed tears. But for the "Library at first sight", the farewell to the first store is not the end. On July 23, the day before the completion of the Nanchang Road Hall, the new hall located in Xuhui Binjiang will start trial operations, and the stores in the Moon Bay of Hongkou Ruihong Tiandi Moon Bay are also under renovation. "See you at first sight", more than one see, the exploration of reading and community services will continue.

"At first sight" is named "at first sight", hoping to make readers feel kind. Someone really happened at first sight: Shortly after the shop on Nanchang Road opened, writer Sun Yan strolled here by chance. "The eyes were bright and he stood stupidly." This old house, who had belonged to his grandfather Yi Dunbai. Mr. Yi was the last scientific test in the late Qing Dynasty. After the founding of New China, he was the librarian of Shanghai Literature and History. In the old mansion, he carefully took care of a library in the old house. Decades ago, the child's Sun Yan learned to go to Go with his grandfather in the book room and read literary and historical materials. In adulthood, he successively wrote the novels "Xuelu", prose "Under the Gao Bookstore", "An Old Man and his Tibetan Collection" to commemorate the grandfather and the disappeared library.

The old house again had a relationship with the book and started a new story. The space on the first floor of the "Library" is open, and the reading area upstairs is used for members. Several founders have different professional backgrounds, and they are really love to read. On the one hand, the membership system is to provide a better reading experience. On the other hand, I also hope that members can overcome laziness because of certain costs and read more. More people like to read ", which drives more people to return to reading.

In the Shanghai -language movie "Love Myth" last year, there is also a shadow of "Library at first sight". In the film, this is one of the places for Lao Wu Zhang Luo's painting exhibition. "Once you start reading, you will always be free." This sentence in the small garden "at first sight" is set in the movie lens, leaving a reading proposition about "seeing" and about the city.

"Someone asked the" Library at first sight ''? "In a tweet of the" Library at first sight ", an explanation of the founding team was left -it is a way you can calm down when you are busy for life and think about life. Where is the place where you can do something with many like -minded friends; a place where you can use your talent to grow up to more people; a place where you can regain the original intention to set off together. "This is not just the library, but the community cultivated by a group of people." They defined.

"We are also members ourselves, I hope to build this community with members." Guan Bowen, the person in charge of the brand event "at first sight", explained that many bookstores on the market were in cultural and creative, coffee, and founded the "one view" at first sight ". I want to create a space that can make people read, so none of them are packed, you can read or borrow it. "The member system may not be mature, but we think it is a feasible way. While promoting the membership system, it has also become a space for reading and activity communication."

On November 27, 2020, 2020 Shanghai-Taipei Cross-Strait Literature Camp was held in the "Library at first sight"

One year after opening, the "Library at first sight" became dense, almost averaging one day. On the one hand, these activities focus on the growth of people, such as philosophy lectures, art courses, etc. On the other hand, they are biased towards the community and have strong social attributes. This has gradually formed its own operation and content output model.去年11月在浦东碧云开业的第一家分馆，由于所处社区生活群体以家庭为主，考虑到了更多亲子需求，不仅是传统意义上的图书馆，还以书为基础，提供更Multi -activity content. Before the summer vacation this year, in late June, the "Library in the Library" Biyun Museum excreted the "Summer Camp at first sight: the summer in the library" schedule. Small book administrators "" chess "," children's yoga "... and art camps launched with Biyun Museum of Art, can almost" contract "a day -to -day activity.
