Sun Yat-sen Memorial Library

Dongqu Subdistrict, China · built 1935

The Sun Yat-sen Memorial Library, or Zhongshan Memorial Library (simplified, traditional, pinyin: Zhōngshān Jìniàn Túshūguǎn), is a municipal public library located in Zhongshan City, Guangdong Province, People's Republic of China. It was established in 1935 to commemorate Sun Yat-sen. The library is affiliated to the Zhongshan Municipal Bureau of Culture, Radio, Television, Press and Publication, and is a national first-class library. It has a construction area of 57,660 square meters. The logo of the library building has an inscription by Song Qingling, honorary president of the People's Republic of China and wife of Sun Yat-sen. Because Zhongshan City’s administrative divisions are rather special (it is a prefecture-level city with no county-level administrative divisions), the Zhongshan Memorial Library is the only large comprehensive public library in the city.
