Investigation on "empty Shell" of Farmer's Book House: haven't borrowed a book for 3 years

As a people-benefiting project to enrich farmers 'spiritual and cultural life, in recent years, farmhouse has gone deep into thousands of villages and townships and has been welcomed by farmers. Up to now, China has built more than 600,000 rural bookhouses, and the accumulated investment of the central government has exceeded 20 billion yuan.

However, the reporter investigation understands, In some places this good thing has attracted a lot of farmers confused: Part of the farmhouse book distribution divorced from the actual production and life, Let farmers laugh and cry, Even the library sing "Empty city plan", When dealing with the inspection, Find someone to act as an extra actor for reading... Why did the farmhouse encounter such "embarrassment"? How to make public finances spend money without heartache?

The book house makes joke: North introduces kind sugarcane, dry land allots pisciculture book

The reporter visited Hengshui, Shijiazhuang and other farmhouse bookstores in Hebei Province and found that these bookstores had about 1000 books, covering many fields such as planting and breeding, computers, politics and economy, culture, etc. But the reporter also observed that few people came to read.

Reporter investigation found that the reason why the library sang "empty city plan", the source lies in the book equipped with "willful", some books and farmers reading taste seriously inconsistent, can not attract farmers interest.

- Deviate from reality. Rural farmers in Hengshui City mostly grow watermelon for a living, and many families have melon sheds. The villagers of Liuzhong Village, Dengzhuang Town, Taocheng District reflect: "Now the technology of planting melons has been updated to 'middle arch shed,' and the book in the library is still talking about how to do 'greenhouse greenhouse'. This knowledge is too old."

He Xiangjiu, vice chairman of the CPPCC in Cangzhou, Hebei Province, said that sugar cane is mostly produced in tropical areas in the south, but he saw a book on planting sugar cane in a northern farmhouse?!

In a farmhouse in Hongyang Township, Haiyuan County, Ningxia, books such as "Safety Production Manual of Pollution-free Rice" and "200 Questions on Mass Freshwater Fish Breeding Technology" are placed on the bookshelf. However, the village is located in the Xihaigu Mountain area and has been relying on heaven for food. There is no water source for irrigation. Even more than 30 households in the village need to buy water a few kilometers away. The water source is very tight, let alone fish farming.

--The book is brand new and the CD is unopened. In some local bookstores, reporters found that many books are brand-new, and there are not too many traces of reading. In Hengshui City Taocheng District Dengzhuang Town Dage Village farmhouse to see, audio-visual materials have a counter, but many of those CDs are not opened.

"The most useless thing in the library is piles of old audio and video materials. Nowadays, people are popular on the Internet, and the contents of these CDs are also outdated." Hengshui City Fucheng County Sanlipu village branch Shi Jiashun said.

- Not adapted to reading crowd. The reporter found in Shijiazhuang City Dong 'an Village farmhouse interview, here rules and regulations are relatively perfect, hanging on the wall "farmhouse management system," the table placed "borrow register" and "reader opinion book," there are people in the library, but all old people and women.

Shi Shishun said, The village young adults go out to work, Left behind are mostly children, women and the elderly, More hope some fairy tales, Nutrition health books,"But there are not many such books in the library."

_Books are heavily homogenized. Chen Li, deputy director of the National Library, previously participated in the survey and found that "in a farmhouse, there are as many as 7 books in the book" Business Banquet Wins a la carte ", while there are 12 books in the" In-depth Simple Registry and BIOS ". There are only 1000 books in a library, and with so many books like this, can farmers really use them?"

Chen Li told reporters that most of the country's rural bookstores are uniformly distributed by news and publishing departments above the county level. Within a region, almost all the books distributed by rural bookstores are the same. As a result, limited book varieties, hundreds of towns and thousands of villages on one side, serious book homogenization, readers are difficult to find the books they need in the limited books.

--or become a sales channel for unsalable books. It is reported that some of the bookstores are now stock books. Some experts pointed out that good books cost high, discount low will lose money, can not rule out that the farmhouse has become a publishing house or bookstore sales squeeze unsalable books channel.

Changsha City CPPCC Culture, Education, Health and Literature and History Committee Director Chen also pointed out that in Hunan research also found that the vast majority of books purchased by farmers 'libraries are published in the province, few books published in other provinces, so he also raised the question of "whether there is local protectionism in the purchase of books by farmers' libraries."

3 years no one comes to the library to borrow books to deal with the check to find "actors"

In addition to the problem of book allocation, some farmhouse bookstores are extensively managed, opened abnormally, and difficult for the masses to borrow, resulting in low utilization rate of bookstores.

The person in charge of some rural bookstores in Hebei interviewed by the reporter said that books in the village can only be read in the bookstores and are generally not borrowed, mainly for fear that the villagers will lose them or the children at home will break the books.

Hengshui City Taocheng District Dengzhuang town Liuzhong village farmhouse administrator Yang Peihua said, The village library has no fixed opening time, Is who wants to see, Find someone to open the door to see.

In the farmhouse of Xinrang Village Committee in Nada Town, Danzhou City, Hainan Province, the borrowing records show that no one has borrowed books from the farmhouse for three years.

"Due to the lack of continuous service guarantee, many farmhouses cannot be opened normally after they are completed. In our research, we found that some rural bookstores, in order to cope with inspections, hired people to act as extras to read books." Chen Li said.

In recent years, although departments at all levels have vigorously promoted public cultural services, reporters have visited many villages to learn that farmers 'spiritual and cultural life is still poor. Old people gather outside to bask in the sun, and some women sing and dance. Some grass-roots cadres said that the farmhouse was useless, and farmers did not even know that there was a farmhouse.

Chen Li believes that some farmhouse libraries have caused repeated investment and waste of public finance. The goal of farmhouse library is completely consistent with that of county-level public library, township comprehensive cultural station and village comprehensive public cultural service center of existing cultural system. The construction of digital farmhouse being promoted in various places also highly overlaps with the existing cultural sharing project, public electronic reading room construction plan and digital promotion project, which have resource construction and service departments.

Listen to the farmers. Money should be spent on the blade.

"There are a lot of books that are not needed, and there are no books that are needed." The farmers interviewed by the reporter reflected that they hoped that the financial money would not be spent too much. When purchasing, the relevant departments could go to different villages and towns to understand the needs. Otherwise, it would be meaningless to match more books. They wanted more books to adapt to the new situation of agricultural production technology and structural adjustment, and more books to meet the current living needs.

Shijiazhuang City Dong 'an village villagers Wang Yongbo also told reporters, Hope the whole county to build a remote online library, Use network resources.

"Farmers are the main consumers. We should give them the right to speak, otherwise they will be abandoned if they are forced to give up without demand." He Xiangjiu said that relevant departments should take the initiative to understand the needs of farmers, constantly update and introduce books suitable for farmers 'needs, so as to make rural bookhouses a good place for the masses to obtain spiritual food.

Chen pointed out that we should consider the development of farmhouse in the long run and use the financial money on the cutting edge. The bidding and purchasing process of books in farmhouse should be open and transparent to the outside world. Let NPC deputies, CPPCC members and farmers 'representatives participate in the whole process of book bidding and procurement.

Chen Li suggested that various cultural service projects and projects benefiting the people should be coordinated and integrated to form a joint force. The county's public libraries could be taken as the leader, township comprehensive cultural stations and village comprehensive public cultural service centers could be effectively used to realize interconnection, farm bookstores and cultural information sharing projects should be integrated, more cultural activities popular with the masses should be carried out, and farm bookstores should be well managed and used.
