Taoyuan Public Library, Public library in Longgang, Taoyuan City, Taiwan.
Taoyuan Public Library Longgang is a four-story facility with two basement levels offering reading, studying, and community activity areas. The building distributes spaces across multiple levels to accommodate different visitor needs and activities.
The building stands on the site of a former military district that housed the Army's Sixth Corps Command and specialized schools in the 20th century. The location was transformed from its military purpose into a public cultural space.
The library holds a multilingual collection with publications from Southeast Asia, reflecting the diverse population of military families from Yunnan and Myanmar. This collection makes the space a gathering place where people of different backgrounds can explore their languages and cultures.
The facility is open from Tuesday to Saturday between 8:30 AM and 9:00 PM, and from Sunday to Monday between 8:30 AM and 5:00 PM. Plan your visit based on the day of the week, as opening hours differ between weekends and weekdays.
The building features 45 window panels shaped like books that open on the sides, representing the multiple worlds contained within the collection. This distinctive architectural design makes the exterior immediately recognizable when approaching the entrance.
