Poding Memorial Library () is the library at Chaoyang University of Technology in Wufeng District, Taichung, Taiwan, established in 1994. The construction of the new library building began in June 1997, and was completed in March 1999.
History The first class of Chaoyang University of Technology started in August 1994, and the library opened on October 11 of the same year. The third floor of the university's Teaching Building temporarily served as the library's quarters. It was divided into a periodical and reference room, stacks, and a reading room. Afterward, the collection of the library increased so rapidly that in order to satisfy the needs of users, it became necessary to add western book stacks and more separate rooms in November 1996. After a year of planning, the construction of the new library building began on June 28, 1997, and was completed in March 1999. In 1999 September, the library was closed after partial destruction resulting from the 1999 Jiji earthquake. It was later reopened in October 1999. "Poding Memorial Library is to commemorate parents of the founder of Chaoyang, Dr. Yang Tien-sheng".
