A 24-hour self-service library has recently been a popular place for people living in Hohhot to read and study all day along. 

The library is equipped with thousands of books, computers, e-book reading machines and other digital facilities, bringing convenience to readers in search of information or downloading materials. It has broken the limits of time and space for traditional public libraries.

Local residents are able to use their ID card and a 100 yuan deposit to borrow books within few minutes. The self-service library is located in the square in front of the Inner Mongolia Library.
