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 Top 10 Must-Visit Libraries,” aiming to draw more attention to the beauty of Taiwan’s libraries and encourage people to enjoy the pleasure of reading. The poll ran from June 30 to September 30, lasting over 100 days, with a total of 68 libraries across the country participating. The top 10 libraries with the highest votes were announced on October 2.
