The Peking University Library is one of the largest university libraries in Asia and has a collection of over 8 million books. Due to security reasons, students are required to swipe their campus card, which serves as their library card, at the building’s entrance in order to enter the library.

The library’s loan period for books is one month. Students may renew their books in person at the library or online at the library’s website (http://www.lib.pku.edu.cn). Students with late returns will be penalized according to the library’s rules and regulations.

Each department/school generally has its own library, you may inquire from your department/school regarding its facilities and its regulations.

To log in on the website, user name and password are needed. The user name is your student ID number, and the initial password is your date of birth (yyyymmdd). After logging in you may reserve books, renew books and check the status of the books.

If you encounter any problems when borrowing books, you may ask the library workers online. Visiting students and research scholars who would like to borrow books must take their Campus Card to the Library Card Office and pay the deposit. When leaving the university they could cancel their account and get back the deposit from the library.
