About this app

Living in Taiwan and want to use the public libraries — without fighting through a Chinese-only website? Library Assistant lets you search Taiwan's public libraries, track what you've borrowed, and keep a log of your reading, all in a clean English interface.

SEARCH SEVERAL LIBRARIES AT ONCE
• Check Taipei, New Taipei, Taoyuan, and Keelung public libraries in one search (powered by each library's official web service)
• Scan an ISBN barcode to instantly check availability and save the book
• Sync your borrowing records (Taipei) into the app to see everything in one place

FIND THE RIGHT BRANCH
• Addresses, opening hours, and maps for every branch
• Sort by distance to find the library closest to you right now

KEEP TRACK OF YOUR READING
• Build lists: want to read, reading, finished
• Reading notes with text, photos, location, and voice memos
• A clear history of what you've borrowed and read

A LITTLE MOTIVATION
• Growth Journey: a 365-day journey from seed to tree, with collectibles to unlock
• Reading achievement badges you can share
• Focus mode: a distraction-free reading timer

DESIGNED TO BE EASY
• Full English interface (also 繁體中文 and 日本語)
• Light / Dark / System themes

PRIVATE BY DESIGN
Your library login, borrowing and reading history, note photos and voice memos are encrypted and kept on your device — they never reach our servers. To keep the app free, it shows ads through Google AdMob, which may collect device identifiers (including the advertising ID) and usage data to deliver and measure ads. See the Privacy Policy for the details and your choices.
