Beautiful Libraries, Libraries of Beauty: NCL Joins the 17th TIBE In August 2008, administration of the National Taichung Library (NTL) was shifted from the Council for Cultural Affairs to the Ministry of Education (MOE). The reorganization has enabled closer horizontal contact between the NTL and other national libraries under the MOU, facilitating the professional development of library operations in Taiwan. At the instruction of NCL Director-general Karl Min Ku, the three libraries organized a joint exhibit at the 17th Taipei International Book Exhibition (TIBE) on February 2 to 4, 2009. Focusing on the themes of 'attention, innovation, abundance and diversity,' the exhibit aimed to foster closer links between national libraries and publishers, as well as promote the image and functions of national libraries in serving readers and researchers.
