Stadtbibliothek Kurashiki

The Stadtbibliothek Kurashiki is a public library with multiple floors, reading spaces, computer stations, and extensive book collections in Japanese and international languages. The building offers digital catalogs and multimedia facilities to serve different types of readers and learners.

The library was founded on October 1, 1946 during Japan's post-war reconstruction period to support educational development in the Kurashiki region. It played an important role in providing access to education and information during the period after the war.

The library holds collections of local historical documents and photographs that show how Kurashiki developed over time and changed through different periods.

You can access the digital catalogs and participate in regular educational programs offered throughout the week. It helps to check opening hours in advance and familiarize yourself with the library layout to find what you need quickly.

The library uses a rotation system for special collections, allowing readers to explore different themed materials every three months. This gives reason to visit multiple times a year and discover new content on each trip.
