In the face of the sweeping tide of technology, the world is changing rapidly. At this juncture, we need the ability to tell stories and create them.

We believe that imagination may well be the most crucial weapon for facing the future. Legends are not just ancient imaginings; they are also wellsprings of creativity. Understanding legends, creating new stories from them, perhaps these beautiful tales will become invaluable assets for people.

In pursuit of a better life, people's boundless creativity roams far and wide, advancing technology and shaping a radically different landscape. Whether it's a perfect utopia or confronting unresolved doubts, this is another boundless city of science fiction, where the future never ceases.
Forming alternate worlds through legends spawns myriad fantastical tales, constructing mysterious realms ripe for exploration amidst the chaotic and elusive strangeness, fostering boundless imagination and endless possibilities.

In 2019, here we are, exploring, reading, and imagining. Shh... the yokai are here!

The new exhibition theme for the academic year at the library is "Imagining Legends and Futures: Here Comes the Yokai!" It explores folklore from various cultures, examining how ancestors faced challenges and imagined the world. The exhibition extends to attitudes, thinking, and layout for future generations embracing technology. Located on the ground floor, it features relevant books and exhibits. Continuing last year's dynamic format, the exhibition will expand its collection and plan theme-related activities. Faculty and students are invited to visit and participate in interactive elements. The exhibition runs until the end of the first semester of the 108th academic year.

The library's exhibition is structured around three main themes: "Legends and Yokai Reading Map," "Modern Mythmaking," and "Future and Imagination." "Legends and Yokai Reading Map" explores myths from different regions. "Modern Mythmaking" showcases contemporary creations of imaginary worlds. "Future and Imagination" expresses limitless possibilities through imaginative futures. The exhibition also features smaller thematic areas focusing on Taiwanese yokai, Japanese yokai, and fantasy literature, organized around three central pillars.

"Legends" are not just products of our ancestors' imaginations; they are also wellsprings of creativity. Understanding legends helps us create fantastical worlds and spawn numerous tales of fantasy. In those chaotic and elusive mysteries, we construct mystical realms ripe for exploration, sparking boundless ideas. Pursuing a better life, people wander boundlessly in creativity, driving technological leaps and shaping radically different landscapes. Whether utopian perfection or confronting doubts, this is another boundless metropolis of science fiction—a future that never ceases to evolve.

The exhibition's library collection is prominently displayed in the new book area on the first floor, with two sides of shelves dedicated to books on various myths and legends from around the world, as well as collections related to past and present futures. Additionally, there's planning for a "Here Comes the Yokai!" themed film exhibition, featuring films related to supernatural beings. The film list will be available in the audiovisual room, accompanied by detailed guides introducing each film, showcasing a whimsical and intriguing yet non-threatening style of film exhibition.
