2. AC heats up library's appeal

About 1,000 students flooded into the school library at Zhengzhou University of Aeronautics in Central China's Henan province.

It is unclear if the students' passion for learning was behind their desire to rush to the library, but it's clear that air conditioning in the library was a big attraction.

Since dormitories do not have fans or air conditioning, the school decided to extend the library's hours and turned the canteen into a temporary study room for more students to study with air conditioning on.
