Can’t remember the last time you visited a library to read a book? The Library Association of the Republic of China recently held an online poll for the “2015 Taiwan’s Top 10 Must-Visit Libraries,” aiming to draw more attention to the beauty of Taiwan’s libraries and let more people enjoy the pleasure of reading. The poll ran from June 30 to September 30, lasting over 100 days, with 68 libraries across the country participating. The top ten libraries with the highest votes were announced on October 2.
