Under the theme “City Libraries: A pitch to the future,” the Taichung Public Library International Library Forum 2026 brings together library leaders, directors, and scholars from Taiwan and around the world to exchange innovative practices and international perspectives through keynote speeches, practical forums, and professional dialogue. From cities and reading to spaces and inclusion, the forum explores how public libraries can respond to rapid technological and social change while serving as vital bridges connecting people, knowledge, cultures, and the wider world.
