Plan is an important historical opportunity for revitalizing public librarianship in these areas. The
13th Five-Year Plan carries out accurate targeted alleviation. In order to seriously implement the
Plan, the party committees and governments of the underprivileged counties should firstly find
out the holistic situation. The provincial administrative departments of culture should work with
relevant departments to investigate the public culture facilities, service resources, personnel and
other basic conditions of counties, townships and villages to make clear problems. Secondly, it is
also necessary to map out the construction list according to standards, which refers to the Service
Standards and local guides. Through calculation of insufficiency in basic service items, hardware
facilities, personnel and other categories according to the standards, construction projects are listed,
which are targets of accurate poverty alleviation. In the schedule of public cultural service system
construction in underprivileged areas during the 13th Five-Year Plan period, the first three years
will focus on the poverty alleviation and the latter years will focus on improvement. Opportunity
knocks only once. Seizing this historic opportunity will lead public libraries in underprivileged
areas in Central China to achieve the leap-forward development and is of great significance in
elevating Central China out of the Central lowland.
