Taichung City Library Xixi Branch Introduction
The library houses approximately 100,000 volumes and 150 kinds of journals, with spaces designed for different age groups and audiences, including a baby and toddler area, a children’s reading area, a newspaper and periodical area, a Taichung Learning Zone, a senior citizens' area, an open reading area, and a Building and Living Aesthetics area (CC Architectural Museum). It also plans to have a youth reading area, multifunctional activity rooms, an audiovisual area, a diverse learning room, a wireless internet area, and an information retrieval area, regularly hosting lectures, movie screenings, storytime sessions, and other activities to provide comprehensive services to the public. The Xixi Branch features "Building and Living Aesthetics" as its collection characteristic and has signed a cooperation agreement with the Taichung Architects Association on April 10 for the "CC Architectural Museum," aiming to realize the Children & Creativity concept and jointly create a themed area of "Building and Living Aesthetics." The "CC Architectural Museum" collects professional literature related to architecture and architectural journals from around the world, and regularly holds events such as "Architecture Exhibitions," "Living Library," "Architects Speak about Architecture," and "Laughing and Chatting about Architecture," bringing the public closer to architecture through professional sharing by architects. The minimalistic and elegant reading space allows the public to indulge in the sea of books while fully experiencing the vitality and creativity of the city’s new aesthetic!
