Organized by
Taiwan Online Library (TOLIB)
Taiwan Online Library (TOLIB) is a non-profit arts and culture organization based in the Twin Cities, whose aim is to promote Taiwanese art and culture through books, events, and summer programs for Twin Cities youth.
Start from 2008, Taiwanese Association received the donated books from Taiwanese government. These books were carefully selected to intend to cover the topics that most Taiwanese are interested in. The categories range from history, travel, literature, politics, to cooking, picture books and comics, etc.
These books not only provide a remedy for our homesickness, but also enlarge our view of Taiwanese culture. Therefore, it's important that we share these books with as many people as possible.
We then set up the online library system to allow all members in Taiwanese Association to review and request books for free. Our volunteers will manage the website and keep the books.
Besides from the affairs of the books, annually, our organization hosts 2-4 events per year, where members of the public can check-out and return books related to the Taiwanese cultures, arts, and the history of Taiwan. TOLIB began hosting its first event in December 2009, with a tea-ceremony event. Since then, we have aimed to promote various aspects of Taiwanese culture through movie screenings, Q & A’s with professional actors, instrumental ensembles, character festivals, and summer programs teaching art skill sets.
