NCL Publications Displayed at Frankfurt Book Fair The Frankfurt Book Fair, the biggest show of its kind in the world, was held in Frankfurt, Germay in October. The fair is a major event for the publishing industry, attracting 6,691 exhibitors from 110 countries in 2004. In 2005, the Taiwan delegation to the show brought together exhibits by 10 government agencies and private organizations. The group exhibit was divided into general books and comics. A puppet performance and food displays were also arranged to heighten visitor interest. The NCL displayed 20 of the several hundred publications it has put out over the years, hoping to raise awareness of the dynamic development of Taiwan's library sector.
