The current National Taichung Library does not fit the size or layout demands for citizens and the government. Because of this shortcoming, the Executive Yuan has passed a proposal to move the library to the corner of WuQuan South and JianChen roads. The new library will take up just over two hectares and will be equipped with the most advanced technology, making it a great addition to the area and Taichung.
