The National Library of Public Information and the Taiwan Railways Administration,have joined hands to launch a cooperation project “Wen Wu”at the Wuquan Station under the jurisdiction of the Taiwan Railways Administration's Taichung Station.”Wen” refers to literature,art and reading,”Wu” refers to Wuquan Station,they will create a new cultural hub that combines reading and transportation,it’s a new attempt to promote reading.

Reading is not limited to libraries,nor is it limited to books. The National Library of Public Information(NLPI) collaborates with the Taiwan Railways Administration(TRA) cross-domain cooperation,innovative reading culture elements are injected into Wuquan Station,the library is presented as installation art,and combined with digital display library exhibitions,passengers can also experience the pleasure of "reading as they go" during their journey.

Create a diverse and innovative reading experience,injecting cultural enrichment into the city
NLPI produced two large-scale outputs with a reading atmosphere on the platforms of Wuquan Station,the second platform in the north with the theme of "Libraries allow you to read and enjoy every moment of your life," and the first platform in the south with the theme of "I'm either at the NLPI or I'm on my way to the NLPI," which used the outlook of the libraries and the scenes of reading styles as the imagery to show the pleasure of reading,and attracted the attention of many passengers at the stations.Located at the entrance and exit of the station lobby,the digital database of the NLPI combines physical and digital display of the Dreaming Picture Book Exhibition,which pushes the reading experience to a new peak and provides travelers with the opportunity to get close to reading on the road,so that reading accompanies you to the ends of the earth without feeling lonely.

The library's proximity to the Wuquan Station is only an 8-10 minute walk and a 3-5 minute bike ride,which is a great attempt to integrate the reading culture into the public's life by creating a net-zero emission,echoing the spirit of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs),and encouraging people to walk,bike,or take public transportation more often.By creating a new location for the literati at the Wuquan Station,a transportation hub,the partnership will lead people to libraries and provide them with multiple reading opportunities,while injecting more cultural elements into the city.

According to the TRA Taichung Station,this cooperation is a "Wen Wu" combination of reading and transportation,and the creation of a cultural atmosphere will bring more people to the station,making it not only a place for travelers to cross the border,but also a cultural hub for people to gather.It is hoped that this will bring a new atmosphere of creativity to the transformation of TRA,demonstrating the company's intention to strive for innovation in its operations.It is also hoped that through cooperation with local cultural organizations,more diverse services and experiences will be provided to the passengers,and it is hoped that a similar model of cooperation will be developed in more urban stations in the future,bringing more rich and colorful reading and cultural experiences to the public space of the stations.
