The Library of Tibet has opened its 24-hour self-help library kiosk, according to information from the library, which collects over 400 thousand books in all subjects.

According to the library, any resident could borrow books from the Library with a resident ID. There’s currently two formats of book-lending: 1, A 100-yuan deposit ensures one month of lending,  three books at a time, and can renew for a month; 2. A 300-yuan deposit ensures one month and half of lending, up to six books at a time and can renew for a month and half.

The 24-hour self-help library model is a new service, which has been made popular in public library systems in recent years. The machine works like a bank ATM, with the user able to borrow and return books at any time, and meets all readers’ needs.
