The recently opened Picture Book Reading Room in Hualien’s Cultural and Creative Industries Park is the first national-level facility on the east coast dedicated to family storytelling. Here, children and their parents can enjoy a space where they can read, watch performances, and engage in interactive activities together. The room has more than 3,000 books suitable for all ages, so parents and children alike can experience the joys of reading.

Children flip through picture books, reading the stories on their pages, while another group colors with colored pencils. This is Hualien’s Picture Book Reading Room, the first national-level facility dedicated to reading aloud in Taiwan.

Over here, a teacher plays around with some kids in his class. The reading room also has storytime with parents, plays to watch, and crafting, giving kids a comfortable place to explore.

Parent
There are lots of books to read suitable for her age. Libraries are very quiet, but here, it seems like you can read out loud for them and won’t bother anyone.

Parent
It’s comfortable. Over there there are some interactive activities. Sometimes we’ll do that.

The reading room has more than 3,000 books categorized in 13 major themes, including nature and life, health and movement, emotions and relationships, and imagining the future—plenty for both children and adults to enjoy.

Teacher
Here we guide children through books so they can experience the joy of reading. And with reading games, they can experience more possibilities that reading can bring. Every time I interact with children, I get so much in return.

Here in Hualien we face the Pacific Ocean to the east, so it’s like we’re standing at a gateway to the world. That’s why we decided to open a national-level children’s reading room here in Hualien. In our daily lives, we encounter many problems and difficulties, but picture books can give kids inspiration.

Here, children can not only read to their hearts’ content, but also engage their hands and minds to unleash their creativity, giving families a fun destination to explore together.
