Books on the Move

Taipei residents can now borrow books on the go. In December 2012, a fleet of 62 buses on routes 1, R32, and 205 started running as part of the city's public bus library. However, it is not stopping there because the government plans on expanding its movable library. The goal is to place bookshelves on more buses, in MRT stations, on MRT trains, and at locations around public transportation sites. All this is being done to encourage reading. Since the program's launch, the books, most of which have been donated, have been borrowed over 10,000 times. Now you can hit the road and the books at the same time.
台北居民如今能在搭乘交通工具時借閱書籍。2012年十二月，一路、紅三十二以及二零五等三線共六十二輛公車，開始以市立公車圖書館的身分上路行駛。不過計劃並非就此打住，政府仍打算擴大這項行動圖書館的服務。目標是要在更多公車中、捷運車站和車廂裡，以及大眾運輸系統周圍的地點上放置書籍借閱架。上述所有措施都是為了鼓勵閱讀而開辦。自從本項計劃開始後，這些大多都是靠捐贈而來的書籍被借閱超過一萬次。如今，您可以一邊上路，同時一邊沈浸書香。
