To adapt to changing modern lifestyles, the new central library of New Taipei City is moving toward greater diversity by offering an all-new 24-hour non-stop reading service, making it the public library with the longest operating hours in Taiwan. The new central library has 10 floors above ground and 3 underground, covering a site area of over 6,000 square meters. The library houses up to 1,100 types of periodicals, magazines, anime and music corridors, as well as self-study spaces, aiming to meet the needs of different readers. It provides a quiet and comfortable reading spot for night owls, service industry workers, and exam candidates during evening hours.

Additionally, the new central library’s design accommodates diverse activity needs for various groups. For example, the first floor offers dining services, while the second floor has a senior resources area equipped with tables and chairs suitable for elderly readers, along with assistive devices such as desk lamps, magnifiers, and color video magnifiers, as well as simple blood pressure monitoring equipment. The periodical reading area provides 1,100 types of periodicals and magazines — the largest collection among national public libraries. The 24-hour self-study room, designed for exam candidates, is managed with seat reservations and access control systems. Readers can check in and out using their library cards and monitor seat availability in real time.
