Abstract
As one of the leading approaches for achieving the servicing egalityin public library management, the system “Central-branch” is now facing obstacles against the impoverished circumstances. The well implementation of this system would always require an omnipotent “central” ( country-level library) expected to be appropriately comprehensive and informative for establishing an entire systematic structure for fully covering its branches. Back to reality, the majority of these kinds of “central” libraries exist in poverty areas of our nation, struggling to maintain the daily operation on their own, not mentioning about their subordinated branches, which only share the “ discretionarily loan and return “ service with the “central” library, appearing to be more symbolically meaningful than the practical. In order to make up the function absences for the township public libraries, the adoption of networking with top-down distributions is imperative, which would benefit the libraries by launching whole-coverage digital reading projects and relative reading promotion plans,such as “Rural Flying Reading Program”.
