  In the lobby of Hunan Library stood a notable publicity panel, which introduces a plan for reading and sharing foreign language literature launched by the foreign language reading room of the library. Since it was launched in January last year, over a hundred free foreign language communication classes have been held, including English, French and Japanese. More than 30 thousand people participated in the classes, nearly doubling the borrowing of foreign language literature.

  Li Yueming, director of the Information Service Department of Hunan Library, introduced that the classes are held eight times per month. All the teachers are foreign language teachers from colleges, universities and training institutions. Besides giving classes, they instruct the trainees to read the foreign classics. Meanwhile, some foreign teachers are invited to have classes every weekend. Nearly 50 foreign teachers have given classes by June this year.
