Founded in 1921,under the leadership of the Party,the Shanghai Correspondence Library united youth readers and effectively disseminated progressive ideas,thus highlighting the significance of a Red library in promoting political awareness,youth organization,and talent training.With its innovative approach to the librarian management,classification of books and borrowing and returning service via correspondence,the Library became a center for exchanging ideas among the progressive youth in Shanghai and for spreading the new May Fourth culture and revolutionary ideas.Its nature as a youth center of exchanging ideas,its sincere service,sense of devotion and spirit of trust and shared progressive ideals were all hallmarks of the 1920s youth culture imbued in the spirit of China’s May Fourth Movement.The Library thus has its historical value and contemporary implications.
