Electronic books
National Library of Public Information e-Book Service Platform (books in collection)
It provides a free and scope-free e-book online reading and loan service. Collections of nearly 27,000 types of more than 250,000 e-books in traditional Chinese are open to people all over the country and patrons of public libraries to register as a member to use the platform. As long as you have a library card issued by any public library in the country, you will be entitled to register to become the member of the platform (for those who do not have an identity card, please contact a librarian in National Library of Public Information for assistance) to enjoy the convenient e-book service.
Other than general books and materials, the current collection of e-books includes government publications and works authorized by individuals. The quantity is increasing.
