Taiwan National Library 國家圖書館

Excited. Finally got a Taiwan National Library card. I guess this gets entrance into the (2 or 3 or more?) National Libraries.

National Central Library Taipei near CKS memorial seems like a good spot to chill on hot or rainy days.

In addition to computer searching, they even have these things which I guess come in handy during power outages.

Their Arts and Audiovisual Center is on Yanping Rd near Xiaonanmen. Has anyone ever been? How’s the movie collection?

This library near CKS is full every time I visit. Very inspiring for me to focus, or sleep.

So crowded, yet so quiet, can hear people 放屁. Yes.

The 7/11 convenience store at the bottom floor of Taiwan National Library has no beer or wine or alcohol.
