New Taipei City Public Library Xinzhuang Branch

Very close to the MRT station! Returning books is very convenient! Love the decor and atmosphere inside! The staff are also very polite~

There are not many books, and although there are not many seats, there is a lot of space for one person. It feels like being in a coffee shop. The atmosphere is very good. The window seats can overlook Xinzhuang Banqiao. If you want to pass the time, or if you are alone in thinking and quiet, but don't want to spend money, this is a very suitable place.

Beside the elevator at Exit 1 of Xinzhuang MRT Station. Located on the 5th and 6th floors, the interior design is elegant and clean. Although there are not many seats, the overall appearance is beautiful. The books are neatly displayed and the visual feel is good.

It looks like a well-designed library but not very functional. There are not many seats available and there is almost no place for laptops. The only place with electrical sockets is located in the newspaper area for the disabled, so no one dares to use bad design to make a comfortable area. Become a sleeping place for the elderly. A failed and inefficient library

The inspection system is very serious, and I want you to take your mobile phone in front of her and show her carefully. I heard that the epidemic prevention hotel does not need to be changed at your own expense now? But I don't want to be a white mouse to experiment~ Moreover, this kind of inspection method makes people feel that they do not trust visitors and treat others as viruses in defense. If you want to experience the way of life on the other side or martial law, you can come here for reference

The quality of the librarians is generally poor, and they are generally mixed. For example, today, 2022/1/9 (Sun) 2:20pm~2:25pm, there are ten new local cases today, calling people to take body temperature, scanning QR code to make a real contact system, but you can mask your mouth and nose. This library is also in the same building as a sensitive medical institution, and in the crowded area of ​​Xinzhuang. Epidemic prevention is just a show! Then there are volunteers or other librarians in pink vests sitting on the carpet while arranging books, worrying! I don't know how the curator arranges work or manages it! Does this simple thing need to be re-educated and trained every time I see it? Civil servants, front-line personnel, etc. should have a look! The elders or elders who are readers should also have a look. I really strongly demand that libraries in New Taipei City and even the whole country should be properly rectified, and not let the librarians mess around and only bully the good and fear the evil. See how many negative reviews this branch has!

The traffic location is very good, just above the MRT exit (co-constructed with the MRT), and there is a ubike station next to it, but the space is small, the collection of books is small, there is no water dispenser, and the air conditioner is turned on in summer. It can only be said that it is a pity for such a golden location.

Supplement the information not mentioned above (for foreign tourists: The library is next to the clinic/Xinzhuang MRT station, the entrance is relatively small and easy to miss The floors are 5th and 6th floor, but the elevator only goes to the 5th floor On the day I arrived, the outdoor somatosensory temperature was 27, but there was no air-conditioning in the library at all. The windows were open for ventilation, which caused the heavy traffic on the main road outside the window to directly affect the readers. If you don’t like noise and heat, it is not recommended to go. The wheel cake outside the 1st floor was unexpectedly crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, but unfortunately I don't know the business hours.
