Additionally, it features a youth reading area, a multifunctional activity room, an audiovisual area, a diverse learning room, a wireless internet area, and an information retrieval area. Regular activities such as lectures, film screenings, and storytime are conducted to provide comprehensive services to the public. The Xixi Branch Library focuses on "architectural lifestyle aesthetics" as its collection theme, and on April 10, it signed a cooperation agreement with the Taichung Architects Association to promote the concept of Children & Creativity, jointly creating a thematic area dedicated to "architectural lifestyle aesthetics." The "CC Architecture Museum" collects professional books related to architecture and architectural journals from around the world. It also hosts various events, including "Architectural Exhibitions," "Human Library," "Architects Talk About Architecture," and "Laughing and Chatting About Architecture," aiming to bridge the gap between the public and architecture through professional sharing by architects. The simple and elegant reading space is designed to accompany the public in immersing themselves in a sea of books, allowing them to fully experience the vitality and creativity of the new urban aesthetic. Text and images are provided by the Xixi Branch of the Taichung City Library.
