“Refining: An Exhibition of National Central Library’s 80 Years of History,” which shows important historical documents from when the Library was first founded as a preparatory office in 1933 to the present. Items from its early days are displayed, such as a wooden inscribed sign that used to hang in the old facilities and an antique typewriter with movable lead type.

   The NCL desired to show how books have progressed over the course of human history through this special exhibition, and thus put on display world-famous book institutions. Not only did readers in Taiwan walk away with a better understanding of the NCL and other national libraries throughout the world, but also the various materials used in writing books throughout history, the role of libraries in national knowledge education and cultural dissemination. It was a way for those of all walks of life to gain appreciation for the beauty of libraries and to fall in love with reading.
