As you come to the West Lake Study in Zhuantang Street of Hangzhou, the only thing they need to do is taking out their mobile phones and scanning them on the self-help borrowing machine to complete the borrowing within one minute with great convenience.

It is understood that a variety of operations such as borrowing and returning, renewal and inquiry can be done on the machine,giving readers freedom and privacy of reading. With the help of the machine, the public only need to scan the QR code and then they will receive the e-book on their mobile phone, thus creates a "customized" mobile library for the readers.
