South Branch of National Central Library

Southern Branch of the National Central Library & National Repository Library is a subsidiary of National Central Library under Taiwanese Ministry of Education. The project was initiated in early 2000s during Chen Shui-Bian's presidency and was then suspended by Ma Ying-Jeou's regime in late 2000s and was ultimately revived in Tsai Ing-Wen's leadership in the effort to close the north-south divide in Taiwan over the disparity of education opportunity and resources. The commencement of construction work began in late 2019 and is on track to complete in 2021 in Tainan City.
