東松山市立図書館, Public library in Higashimatsuyama, Japan.
Higashimatsuyama Public Library is a modern multi-story building that holds extensive book collections, digital resources, and multimedia materials for visitors. The spaces are well-lit and functionally designed with plenty of room for browsing and working.
The library opened on 24 October 1949 as the Matsuyama Town Library. In 1974 it moved to a building on Ekimae-dori, now the Gallery Higashimatsuyama, and on 16 January 1990 it moved into its present building. A mobile library service ran from 1 October 1983 until 31 August 2007.
The library serves as a gathering place where local families and students spend their time reading and studying together in a welcoming environment. It plays an active role in the daily life of the community.
The building is located about seven minutes on foot from Higashimatsuyama Station and has plenty of parking spaces for visitors arriving by car. You should keep the regular opening hours in mind and take advantage of its central location.
The mobile library, called the Matsukaze, began operating on 1 October 1983 and was discontinued on 31 August 2007. The Noshi-no-hana reading room inside the Hirano Civic Activity Center closed on 29 September 2024; books from the main and Koshigaya libraries can now be ordered there instead.
