Window of Shanghai Collection City Library

In 2003, "Window of Shanghai" was set up in libraries of the sister cities of Shanghai or via friendly agreements with other cities, as part of the “China Book International” project. It seeks to redress the limited Chinese language holdings in overseas libraries, and to provide overseas readers with more access to the latest Chinese publications. The collection, located on the first floor of the City Library, was launched on 26th November 2008 in the presence of the then Mayor Peter Chin, and two representatives of the Shanghai Public Library.
