Nakanoshima Library, full of time-​honored history of architecture, is sure to garnish your reading time with luxury.
In addition, the library, located in a business district, has a great number of business books, which will offer great help for business people.
Currently there have been construction intermittently, but every time the construction finishes, your precious time in the library is more strongly promised.
(In recent construction, restrooms have been renewed, which are not what they used to be as shown in the picture.)
The historical library, having opened since 1904, will be temporary closed between August 1 and November 30, after which you will be able to enjoy visiting and reading books more and obtain more reliable assistance related to your business.
To borrow books there, it is imperative for you to live in Kinki region and make a user card by submitting application form and showing your certificate capable of checking your name, address, and date of birth.

The library possesses a large quantity of books. When I was a university student, I went to the library to write a report for filing. But in the university library the book I looked for had been already borrowed. So I went to the library to search one that I wanted. I found one! Splendid! It was very minor book. However this library possessed it. So I was absorbed in studying alone in a study hall.
It was a little far from my parents’ house but it was worth visiting for a large quantity of books.
I also like surrounding atmosphere. Nostalgic, retro, water course, academic buildings… I hope this library will remain. It also becomes an oasis for local people in various ages.
Once a month a visit to the book vault tour is held. Application is unnecessary. For 30 minutes course. Fifteen people first arrival. On next time at 15:30 on March 15. You have to reach here before 15 minutes when the tour starts. You can’t usually enter the book vault. Don’t miss this chance!
