The Reading Room --The subsidiary of the Chamber was founded in 1948. At present, the collection of reading materials includes over 22,000 books and 70 types of subscribed magazines, Chinese and English newspapers. Every year, the number of people who have their readings in the reading room amount to 60,000 and the lending rate of books and magazines reach up to 7,000 times. Within the nearly 60 years of opening, not only does it provide the Chamber's members a place for reading and searching for data but actually it has become a public reading room open to people at large.
