我孫子市民圖書館, Public library in Abiko, Japan
The Abiko City Library is a public library with over 411,000 books in modern spaces serving more than 35,000 registered users. Its collection is distributed across three branches throughout the city.
The facility was founded in 1966 with only 300 books in a small room and has grown substantially since then. This expansion reflects increasing demand for public learning spaces in the region.
The library works closely with local universities to support students and residents with expanded learning opportunities. These partnerships shape what the place offers and make it a hub for academic support in the community.
The building is about 11 minutes on foot from Abiko Station and offers online catalog searches and electronic services. Visitors can plan their research in advance online and have flexibility with timing once they arrive.
The facility operates a mobile service called Soyokaze-go that delivers books directly to households throughout the city. This program lets residents who cannot easily reach the building still have access to its collection.
