深圳打造“图书馆之城”让书香飘进城市每个角落

■ 深圳特区报记者 詹裕敏

在被联合国教科文组织授予“全球全民阅读典范城市”称号的深圳，图书馆已然成为最受欢迎的公共文化空间之一。

2003年，深圳在全国率先提出建设“图书馆之城”。从网点布局到服务创新，再到空间营造……深圳以“图书馆之城”建设为引领，走出一条全民阅读高质量发展之路。

数据显示：截至2025年底，全市共有1266家图书馆（957家公共图书馆+309个自助图书馆），“千馆之城”已然成形；1227个图书馆（室）加入“图书馆之城”统一服务体系，加入比例超95%；2025年深圳“图书馆之城”统一服务成员馆进馆读者5430.20万人次，同比增长13.34%。

织密全域网点，筑牢“图书馆之城”服务底座

漫步深圳街头，一个个街区自助图书馆静候在城市角落。它们的设备体量近似移动餐车，书架、借还操作台、取书柜、还书口一应俱全。在这里不仅能借还本机的书籍，也可流转其他图书馆的文献，让人感慨“像银行ATM机一样方便”。截至2025年底，城市街区自助图书馆共有224台。

这一隅书香，只是深圳阅读公共服务大网中的一环。如今，只要持有“图书馆之城”读者证，就可在全市任一加入统一服务的公共图书馆享用阅览文献、借还文献、查阅数字资源等服务。

依托覆盖全市的服务网点，市民无需远距离奔波，在家门口就能畅享借阅便利。这一实践不仅广受读者欢迎，也为全国公共文化建设提供了深圳样本。2021年7月，推进“图书馆之城”建设作为公共文化服务领域唯一项目，入选国家发展改革委公布的《深圳经济特区创新举措和经验做法清单》，向全国推广。

聚力惠民创新，拓展阅读服务边界

在深圳，科技早已融入城市基因，不断解锁阅读服务新场景。深圳读书月和全民阅读活动周期间，深圳图书馆联合美团无人机开通“阅读航线”，读者在指定区域下单无人机外卖，便有机会随餐收获书刊“盲盒”。

深圳推出一项项创新举措，持续拓展阅读服务的边界。深圳捐赠换书中心提供捐书换书服务，帮助读者流转旧书、以书会友。“新书直通车”实现“你读书、我买单”，读者可以在线上或线下服务专区自选心仪新书，免费借阅。电子社保卡借阅服务进一步简化借阅，读者无需额外注册办理读者证，出示电子社保卡二维码就能“一码借阅、畅游书海”……

走进深圳图书馆北馆，便能直观感受科技与阅读的深度融合。在被称为“魔法藏书阁”的全国最大地下智能立体书库内，堆垛机、轨道小车高效运转，承担着文献调阅任务。“这座图书馆科技感满满，读者只需要在手机上下单，轨道小车就会把书送到离你最近的站点，过程只要10分钟。”哈工大（深圳）留学生李白感叹道。

提升空间品质，塑造城市人文地标

与此同时，一批兼具美学气质的图书馆凭借高品质的空间营造出圈，成为城市人文地标和文旅打卡热点。

深圳图书馆北馆人气长盛不衰，标志性的网状外墙、智慧花园等位置成为张艺谋导演电影《惊蛰无声》的取景地，吸引不少游客慕名前来打卡同款机位；坐落于荔香公园、被绿意环绕的南山书房·弘毅阁预约火爆；宝安的“宝读书房·世纪琥珀博物馆”是全市首个琥珀主题图书馆，实现博物馆和图书馆双向引流；坪山图书馆凭借扭转而上的外立面营造出仿佛书页翻动的建筑形态，成为颇具辨识度的文化地标，周末馆内常常座无虚席。

在一些城区，图书馆更逐渐发展为具有代表性的公共文化品牌。盐田区依托海滨、公园、栈道等环境建成10个“海书房”，并坚持“一书房一主题一特色”，项目入选广东省“十四五”公共文化服务案例；罗湖区打造的23个“悠·图书馆”借鉴书店、书吧的设计思路，以互动性和舒适性为特色，获得“2016年最美基层图书馆”称号。

从“千馆之城”的密网布局，到惠民创新的阅读服务，再到各具特色的空间营造，深圳正依托“图书馆之城”建设，持续推进全民阅读高质量发展，让“时时可读、处处可读、人人可读”的美好愿景落地生根。

Shenzhen’s ‘City of Libraries’initiative brings reading to every corner

■ Zhan Yumin, Shenzhen Special Zone Daily

In Shenzhen, recognized by UNESCO as a global model for the promotion of reading, libraries are now among the city’s most popular public cultural spaces.

In 2003, Shenzhen became the first Chinese city to propose building a “City of Libraries.” By the end of 2025, 1,227 service points had joined Shenzhen’s unified “City of Libraries” network. Separately, 95% of the city’s public libraries and reading rooms participated in the unified service. Member libraries recorded 54.302 million visits that year, up 13.34% year on year.

Self-service street libraries, roughly the size of food trucks, are scattered across the city. Each is equipped with bookshelves, a borrowing and return station, a pickup locker and a return slot. Readers can borrow and return books or request books from other libraries — an experience often likened to using a bank ATM. By the end of 2025, Shenzhen had 224 such facilities.

A single “City of Libraries” card allows users to borrow and return books and access digital resources at any library in the network. The initiative has brought convenient borrowing closer to home and offered a model for public cultural services nationwide. In 2021, it was included in a National Development and Reform Commission catalog of innovative practices and promoted across China.

Technology is reshaping the reading experience as well. During Shenzhen Reading Month and National Reading Week, Shenzhen Library partnered with Meituan to offer drone deliveries of “blind boxes” of books and magazines alongside meal orders in designated areas. At Shenzhen Library North, readers can scan a QR code to request books, which a robot dog named “Buxiaowang” delivers to their seats.

Other innovative programs make borrowing easier. The Shenzhen Donation and Book Exchange Center helps readers donate and exchange books. Through the New Book Express program, users can select books online or at service counters and borrow them free. Readers can also borrow books using the QR code on their electronic social security card, without a separate library card.

At Shenzhen Library North, the country’s largest underground automated book storage and retrieval system — known as the “magic book vault” — uses stacker cranes and rail vehicles to retrieve books. The system delivers requested books in about 10 minutes

“This library is full of technology. Readers just place an order on their phone, and the rail vehicle delivers it to the station nearest you in only 10 minutes,” said Li Bai, an international student at Harbin Institute of Technology, Shenzhen.

Distinctive architecture has turned some libraries into cultural landmarks and tourist draws. Shenzhen Library North’s mesh facade and smart garden served as a filming location for director Zhang Yimou’s film Scare Out. Nanshan Study in Lixiang Park, Nanshan District, is often fully booked, while the Baodu Study·Century Amber Museum in Bao’an District is the city’s first amber-themed library. Pingshan Library is another popular landmark, often packed on weekends.

Some districts have built library brands of their own. Yantian has opened 10 sea-view reading rooms, a project selected as a model public cultural service in Guangdong Province. Luohu’s 23 libraries, designed with ideas drawn from bookstores and reading cafés, were named “Most Beautiful Grassroots Library” in 2016.

Through its “City of Libraries” initiative, Shenzhen is working to make reading available anytime, anywhere and to everyone.

“纸上的专利”变“账上的资金”

工行深圳市分行打开知识产权跨境转化通道

随着粤港澳大湾区建设走深走实，科技企业全球化布局渐成趋势。不少企业技术跨境布局特征明显：手握高价值知识产权，却因地域归属、质押规则差异，难以将海外技术资产转化为境内融资担保，成为制约发展的普遍难题。

工行深圳市分行打破境内外知识产权金融服务壁垒，创新推出跨境知识产权质押融资、双跨境知识产权证券化两大特色金融模式，精准匹配不同类型跨境科创企业需求。其中，跨境知识产权质押融资针对港资来深企业，聚焦境外主体的境内授权专利，由境内银行直接放款，提升企业融资效率；双跨境知识产权证券化面向核心技术海外布局的本土出海企业，可跨境办理质押手续、引入跨境资本，匹配企业全球化经营布局。

目前，两种模式均已在工行深圳市分行落地。广东省首笔跨境知识产权质押融资业务落地某港资企业，该企业核心专利由香港股东持有且完成境内授权，银行依托该专利质押增信，为企业境内实体提供了融资支持。针对海外布局知识产权的本土企业，工行深圳市分行落地全国首笔“港资+港知”政银担双跨境知识产权证券化项目，首创“境外知识产权境外质押+公证增信+境内融资”模式。项目资产支持证券于深交所成功挂牌，开辟了国际资本赋能国内科技创新的全新路径。

工行深圳市分行将持续把握APEC合作契机，完善跨境知识产权评估、质押、流转、融资全链条金融服务，为深港科技金融生态建设与亚太区域创新合作提供深圳实践样本。

ICBC Shenzhen creates new financing options for cross-border IP

Tech firms expanding overseas may find it hard to use valuable patents to secure loans because ownership rules and requirements for pledging intellectual property (IP) vary across markets.

The Industrial and Commercial Bank of China (ICBC) Shenzhen Branch offers two solutions: cross-border IP-backed loans and cross-border securitization. The first is designed for Hong Kong-funded Shenzhen companies that hold patents granted in the Chinese mainland through overseas entities. It allows the bank to lend to the companies' mainland operations. The second helps Shenzhen firms with overseas IP use cross-border pledges to raise financing for their global businesses.

The branch has implemented both models. It provided Guangdong’s first cross-border IP-backed loan to a Hong Kong-funded company. The company’s core patent is held by a Hong Kong shareholder and granted in the mainland.

It also completed China’s first government-bank-guarantee securitization project combining Hong Kong capital and Hong Kong IP. The Hong Kong IP was pledged overseas, with notarization supporting the credit, to raise financing. The asset-backed securities were listed on the Shenzhen Stock Exchange.

ICBC Shenzhen will continue to expand services for valuing, pledging and financing cross-border IP.
