In order to promote civic-minded activities, Mao Chin-hsiang, head of the Feeling 18 Chocolate Workshop, established the 18 Degrees Cultural Foundation. Three years ago he went into partnership with Puli Township Public Library, and took the initiative to establish the “I Love Reading – Book Reading Passport” scheme for the township’s elementary schools. Children who reach their reading targets will receive the reward of chocolates and other prizes. The library’s mobile library van and the foundation’s refrigerated chocolate truck make a circuit of the suburban school campuses at fixed times, allowing children to conveniently borrow and return books; filling the campus with a literary atmosphere and a chocolatey aroma. Puli Township public library’s book borrowing rate and the level of participation in its art and literature activities have both significantly increased.

The “I Love Reading” activity was extended throughout the whole county the following year. This year there are already 119 schools and over 23,000 students participating in the scheme. The foundation’s chief executive, Wang Yu-hsing says the foundation, together with the Ministry of Culture, produced an English language report of the scheme which it submitted to the International Federation of Library Associations and Institutions (IFLA). The foundation recently received notice that it has passed the review process of the IFLA’s general assembly and has received an invitation to speak at the World Library and Information Congress, in Cape Town, South Africa in August.

Wang says this is the first time a submission from a county level government has been approved by an international body of library professionals. He adds, it is extremely rare to be invited to give a presentation, which will give the international community the chance to catch a glimpse of Taiwan.
