Than Hsiang Library was established with the objective of helping the general public in forming good reading habit as well as furthering the spread of healthy information catering to both physical- and spiritual-well-being. With the rapid development of global communication and education environment, Than Hsiang Temple endeavors to play an important role----- to help everyone to gain good values and knowledge from reading.
In line with our conviction to upgrade our service, the library took the initiative to reorganize the library system. A new look has unveiled. More books, Video CD’s, and magazines have also being added.
