As digital reading becomes an integral part of daily life, our perception of reading has become more liberated and diverse. Public libraries have long been developing digital resources and e-book platforms, ensuring that reading is no longer confined to paper pages or physical shelves. This allows readers to explore knowledge and broaden their horizons anytime, anywhere.
The rapid advancement of Generative AI is now ushering in a new wave of "smart transformation" for libraries. From robotic services and AI librarians to personalized book recommendations and cross-disciplinary co-creation, technology is no longer just a cold, functional tool. Instead, it has become the driving force that propels reading forward, leading people to cross the boundaries of imagination and embark on an even more expansive intellectual journey.
