Stone Soup Happy Reading Alliance – Taiwan Visit

May 19-23, 2014

The Hefei Delegation to Taiwan (from 19-23 May) was sponsored by the Chen Yet-Sen Family Foundation, with supports from the Interlibrary Cooperation Association and Taiwan Normal University. During this period, arrangements would be made for you to visit 4 Taiwan Elementary Schools, the National Library of Public Information, the Eslite Bookstore and the Hsin-Yi Children Bookstore. Hopefully, this exchange can help the Education Bureau and member schools of the Stone Soup Happy Reading School Alliance to:

• Understand the planning and policies made by Taiwan education authorities for developing primary school libraries, so as to promote their development;

• Visit elementary schools and public libraries in Taiwan to learn from education philosophies on school library development and the integration of library with subjects in Taiwan;

• Introduce hands-on experience gained by the Stone Soup Happy Reading School Alliance in building and developing school libraries to schools and education authorities in Taiwan;

• Facilitate the academic exchange on school library development between Mainland China and Taiwan.
