BEIJING, Jan. 13-- The Beijing Capital Library Jiangong Group branch is opening its first library for migrant workers.

Three quarters of the Beijing Jiangong Group Company's workforce is migrant workers, many left school after completing junior high.

  Reading is not a popular hobby amongst the workers, but the company says they need to read more to increase their knowledge.

This new library has about 1.150 books, including novels and non-fiction.
