今年 PCLS 將推出「認識台灣」系列活動，透過多元有趣的主題，
This year, PCLS is launching a “Discover Taiwan” series, inviting students to explore Taiwan’s rich culture and unique traditions through fun and engaging activities. Our first event, Taiwan Literature Showcase, kicks off this Sunday. We hope to see you there!
文火慢燉：跨越時光的台灣故事｜台灣文學主題書展 Taiwan Literature Showcase
Time：October 18, 2:30–5:00 PM
Location：PDS Cafeteria
2026 布魯克林圖書節的台灣文學攤位將移師普林斯頓中文學校！
書展以「慢燉」為概念，
我們希望透過這些英譯本，讓閱讀中文有困難的孩子，
無論是想為孩子找中文讀物，還是自己想認識台灣文學，
＊此活動的書籍為純展出，不販售。
The Taiwan Literature Booth from the 2026 Brooklyn Book Festival comes to PCLS! Browse picture books, YA titles, graphic novels, fiction, Taiwanese American writing, and classics.
Our theme, “Slow-cooked,” imagines Taiwanese literature as a dish simmered over time, where different cultures, communities, and languages meet and blend into rich, distinctive flavors. With food as our thread, the books explore family memory, identity, migration, island ecology, and the pursuit of democracy and freedom.
Through these English translations, we hope to break down language barriers and help children explore Taiwan’s stories, history, everyday life, and cultural diversity while discovering the warmth and charm of Taiwanese literature.
Whether you’re looking for Chinese reading for your child or a new way into Taiwanese literature, come browse and discover!
*Books displayed at this event are for exhibition only and are not available for purchase.
