The origin and cause of the Pang-yuan Chi Library is emblematic for the canonization of the study of Taiwan literature. Aside from the donations by Professor Pang-yuan Chi over the years, the library’s collection includes volumes of books and teaching materials from Professor Ching-ming Ko, Professor Wen-yueh Lin 林文月, Professor Han-liang Chang 張漢良, Professor Hsing-ching Hsu 徐興慶 and Professor Karen Steffen Chung 史嘉琳 as well as several donations from Hsiang Ming 向明, Songfen Guo 郭松棻, Li Yu 李渝, Lai An 賴洝 and all the other dear friends of the institute. The library also holds various manuscripts which can be put on display for relevant purposes.
