With its green building materials, load-bearing wall system using column-free construction methods, and bronze-level green building characteristics focusing on low carbon and energy efficiency, this library is, overall, a modern library that integrates intelligence, comfort, and energy conservation.

Taichung City Library Xixi Branch Introduction

The library has a collection capacity of about 100,000 volumes and 150 types of journals, designed with age and audience segmentation in mind. It includes an infant area, children's reading area, journal and newspaper section, Taichung School area, senior area, open reading area, and a space dedicated to architectural aesthetics (CC Architecture Museum). Additionally, it plans to have a youth reading area, multifunctional activity room, audiovisual area, diverse learning room, wireless internet area, and information retrieval area. Regular activities such as lectures, movie screenings, and storytime sessions are held to provide comprehensive services to the public. The Xixi Branch focuses on the theme of "Architectural Aesthetics" and has signed a cooperation agreement on April 10 with the Taichung City Greater Taichung Architects Association for the "CC Architecture Museum". Committed to the values of Children & Creativity, they work together to create a thematic area centered around "Architectural Aesthetics." The "CC Architecture Museum" collects professional architectural books and architectural journals from around the world and regularly organizes events like "Architecture Exhibitions," "Human Libraries," "Architects Talk about Architecture," and "Fun Chats about Architecture." Through the professional sharing of architects, it bridges the gap between the public and architecture. The minimalist and elegant reading space allows visitors to immerse themselves in the sea of books and fully experience the vibrant and creative new aesthetics of the city!
