History
Construction began at the start of 2002. In April 2002，the Department of Education of Ningbo publicly recruited the chief of the library in a statewide search. As a result, Yan Wulin was appointed as the first chief. Construction was completed in September 2003 and the library was opened on 28 December 2003.
In 2004, the library won the Lu Ban Prize (the best state engineering). On 1 June 2004，the library of Yinzhou District merged with the NLIC. On 7 August 2005，the number of visitors reached 10,053.
