It is divided into three main sections: a secondhand book zone, an intangible cultural heritage creative zone, and an interactive experience zone. Another zone, the Public Sunning Book Zone allows people to bring treasured books to exchange, fostering community and environmental sustainability.
Visitors can also exchange books for flowers or coffee. They get one voucher for every three books, which can be redeemed against a coffee or a bouquet of flowers. Secondhand books that have been exchanged are displayed nearby for purchase at low prices, with around 200 books changing hands daily.
