History
In 1907, the governor of Heilongjiang General established Heilongjiang Library in Qiqihar, the former capital of Heilongjiang. In 1954, after the merger of Heilongjiang and Songjiang provinces, Harbin was established the new capital of Heilongjiang Province. Therefore Heilongjiang Provincial government prepared for the construction of new Heilongjiang Provincial Library since 1957, and opened for public service in 1962. In 2003, the library moved to a newly built modern building located on the east of Dragon Tower in Nangang District of Harbin.
