American Corner

Based on the long-lasting friendship between the US and the people of Taiwan, the National Library of Public Information collaborated with the American Institute in Taiwan to set up the American Corner in 2005. It is the first American Corner in Taiwan. Its mission is to provide a one-stop solution to all American data and cultural needs as both a data center and event locale with multiple services.

Spatial Design

In 2012, in correspondence with the relocation and renovation of the National Library of Public Information, the brand new American Corner adopted the Grand Canyon as its design concept with warm tones. The Grand Canyon-styled display shelves combined the functions of seats, retrieval, bookshelves, and display cases, fully exhibiting America's multi-composite and tolerant founding principles.
