Hiroshima City Central Library, Municipal library in Hiroshima Chūō Park, Japan.
The central library spreads across multiple floors with dedicated sections for books, periodicals, reference materials, and specialized collections for local research.
Established in 1974, the library inherited materials from the former Asano Library, which operated since 1931 through a donation from the Asano family.
The third floor contains the Hiroshima Reference Room with comprehensive materials about the atomic bomb, peace initiatives, and local historical documents.
The library opens Tuesday through Friday from 9 AM to 7 PM, offering services such as book lending, research assistance, and access to digital databases.
The facility maintains a collection of handwritten manuscripts from writers connected to Hiroshima in the Literature Reference Room.
