The Meinong Branch of the Kaohsiung Public Library established a "multicultural section" that has gradually accumulated over 3,000 volumes from Southeast Asian nations in an effort to promote the culture of the new immigrants. New immigrants parents can take their kids to the library and read stories about their homeland together thanks to reading and other activities.
A multicultural section of the Meinong Library branch has been established, gathering literature from countries including Vietnam, Indonesia, Cambodia, and Thailand, among others. Additionally, there is a book fair with a Vietnamese theme where general public can view authentic Vietnamese books as well as Vietnamese cuisine, literature, and history.
