The Peking University Library is one of the largest university’s libraries in Asia and has a collection of over 7 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 program’s department generally has its own library, you may inquire from your program’s department regarding its facilities and its borrowing-procedures.
After log in on the website of the library, you may reserve books, renew the books and check the status of the books. When logging in you need to use your student number and password.
If you encounter any problems when you borrow 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 they leave the university, they could go to the library to cancel their account and get back the deposit.
