Established in 1958, the Hangzhou Public Library has developed into a modern library over the past 60 years committed to serving over 9 million residents of the city of Hangzhou. Focusing on the stated goal of “a library for ordinary people and a large study for citizens”, the library acts as a pilot among the other libraries in China. This article summarized its three dimensions of work ‒ connecting with libraries overseas, innovating library services in digital time, and the theme branch strategy established in 2008 − and presents activities and programs which support these goals.
