TPL: Taipei Public Library
Between 1930 and 1947, four community libraries were set up in the Taipei area, with funding donated by the local gentry. In 1952, the four libraries were integrated and officially named the Taipei Public Library. Today, other than the main library, there are more than 44branches, 11 public reading rooms, 7 intelligent libraries, and over 60 service locations in and around all 12 administrative districts of Taipei city.
台北市立圖書館最初是地方士紳於民國19年至36年間，陸續捐資設立的四所社區圖書館。民國41年將4館合併後，正式成立台北市立圖書館。成立至今，除總館外，已擁有44所分館、11所民眾閱覽室及7所智慧圖書館。全市超過60個服務據點遍布於台北市各個行政區。
To satisfy the versatile needs of different readers and groups, the Taipei Public Library set up a collection system, where “each branch highlights one special area of interest”. Based on its location, each branch established different special collections to display a featured topic.
為了滿足公共圖書館不同讀者與族群的多元閱讀需求，台北市立圖書館以「一館一特色」的分工典藏機制，各分館根據區域特性建立不同的特色館藏，強化主題服務的概念。
