The fourth edition of "NCKU Book in the City" Mobile Library, through 9 buses carrying various knowledge resources, traveled to Tainan and Chiayi, and for the first time extended its reach to Kaohsiung and Pingtung, breaking geographical boundaries, establishing dialogues, interactions, and feedback mechanisms with the local communities. The initiative brought the soft and hard resources and capabilities of National Cheng Kung University (NCKU) and NCKU Library beyond the campus, initiating a unique two-way learning process. From now until January 5, 2024, the fruitful results will be showcased in the lobby of the Main Library on the Cheng-Kung Campus.

NCKU College of Management sophomore Wu, who went to Wutai Elementary School in Pingtung County to accompany the students in designing totems, believes that the biggest gain from the process is the experience of interacting with different age groups.
