The Cultural Affairs Bureau of Taichung City Government (hereafter called the “Cultural Affairs Bureau”) is the main authority overseeing these regulations, while the Taichung Public Library (hereafter called the “Library”) functions as the implementing agency.

Article 3

Non-profit cultural and educational activities related to the above may apply to use the venues per these regulations. The venues mentioned include multifunctional rooms, conference rooms, audiovisual rooms, classrooms, computer labs, lecture halls, auditoriums, assembly halls, outdoor plazas, and performance halls within the Library and its branches.

Article 4

Applicants are required to submit a venue use application form to the Library or the relevant branch at least two months prior to the intended date, but no later than two weeks before the scheduled date. Upon approval, the venue fee and deposit must be paid within three days. If payment is not made within this period, it will result in the waiver of the application.

The deposit will be fully refunded without interest after the venue is used, pending an inspection confirming no damage to public property. If damage is found, the applicant bears full responsibility for compensation.
