There is a card that enables you to only check out books to read while in the library, and one that lets you check out books to take home. Then that is divided into cards based on how long and how many books you can borrow. Which one would you like?

50 RMB a year, and a 1000 RMB cash deposit.
A: 這麼多？

Because to be able to check out books costs more. Don't worry, you can get your money back in the end.

Oh. How many books can I check out at once? How long can I keep them?
