Taichu Prefectural Library, Historic library building in Central District, Taiwan
The Former National Taichung Library exhibits wooden interior elements and high ceilings within its five-story structure, which includes two underground levels.
Established in 1923 as the Taichu Prefectural Library, the institution underwent multiple name changes, reflecting Taiwan's transition from Japanese rule to Chinese administration.
The building maintains its role as an educational center by hosting regular book fairs, reading festivals, and community events throughout the year.
The library provides self-service checkout machines, digital resources, and three separate branches across Taichung to serve different community needs.
The interior preserves historical archives and rare documents that detail the development of Taichung through different periods of governance.
