Geocache Description:



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。

 

The main library is close to Da-an forest park. After moving for five times, the main library now is completed in 1990. which is also the fifth building of the main library. There are many collcetion in the main library. The Information Center on Schools Abroad was established in 1990, which is located on the third floor of the main library and to provide readers with information and services for studying abroad. The North District Resource Center of the public library is located on the fifth floor, which could enhance the collection and resource sharing of the public library and strengthen the inter-library cooperation.

台北市立圖書館總館鄰近大安森林公園。總館經過了五次主要的遷移,現在的總館落成於1990年,為第五棟做為北市圖總館的館舍。總館館藏特色為綜合性館藏,總館內設有留學資料中心(The Information Center on Schools Abroad),於1990年成立,位於總館三樓,提供讀者出國留學的資訊與服務。總館五樓設置公共圖書館北區資源中心專區,提升公共圖書館館藏資源整合與服務之主題館藏及資源分享機制,強化館際合作服務。
