Taichung Public Library, Taiwan
On March 1, 2016, the Taichung Public Library was officially established with eight sections and 44 branches. The main focus of the library is to establish a blueprint for reading in the Greater Taichung area and to actively work toward its four goals of “driving excellent and innovative library services, creating a people-oriented and good-quality reading environment, integrating community resources into the operation of the library, and promoting a sharing platform for human interaction.” The library’s plan sets out a forward-looking vision and professional administration measures. It aims to implement the six concepts of “friendliness, convenience, wisdom, aesthetics, professionalism and collaboration” to provide quality reading spaces and services to the public. Initially, the main library is housed in the original Sizhangli Library in Beitun District, where it coordinates all the public libraries in the city, sets collection policies, and drives research and innovation in library services. In the future, the main library will be moved to the new site upon the completion of construction.
