A college library in Fuzhou of Fujian Province has turned into a de facto cyber bar, attracting several hundred students playing games day and night.

For 24 hours a day the library, equipped with over 200 computers, thronged with game-addicted students, who could play games as long as they like by paying 2 yuan (24 US cents) for an hour's stay. Other students complained that they had to visit the library very early in the morning to find a computer available to browse over websites and search for information.

Local commercial and industrial administrative authorities are investigating the library.
