Last year, the TIBE organized a Reading Train that took students from remote parts of Ilan directly to Taipei for the exhibition. Today, the train will transport over 200 students from remote regions and Aboriginal communities in Hsinchu County to the TIBE.
"There really isn't much point if the activity is only restricted to Taipei residents," Lin said at a press conference held to launch TIBE.
The Anime & Comics Pavilion and the Fantasy Pavilion are also aimed at bringing children back into the world of books through the presence of artists and a chance to enjoy the Computer Graphics Experience Zone.
