Tokai City Central Library, Public library in Tōkai, Japan

Tokai City Central Library is a public library at 3-2 Chuo-machi, Tokai, Aichi, opened on 14 July 1977 at the northeast corner of Oike Park. Its exterior is clad in dark brown brick-patterned tiles, and the reading room windows look out onto the park. The building has a total floor area of 2,400 m² and was designed to allow a future third-floor extension.

The library opened on July 14, 1977, marking an important advancement in public access to educational resources in Aichi Prefecture. This opening contributed significantly to the development of knowledge infrastructure in the region.

The library holds two named collections: the Okajima Bunko, about 320 plant-related books left in 1997 by former mayor Okajima Kin'ya, who found the naturalised flowering plant Trachystemon orientalis on reclaimed land in northern Tokai in 1994; and the Kanie Kazutada Bunko, some 1,200 farming books funded by a donation from the former Kagome president, a Tokai native, opened in 2007.

The library offers remote access to digital resources such as e-books and databases through an online platform available to members. Visitors should check operating hours and inquire about specific access requirements before planning their visit.

In front of the entrance stands a life-size seated statue of Hosoi Heishu, an Edo-period Confucian scholar, donated by the Tokai Lions Club when the library opened in 1977. The sculptor Kataoka Seikan, a resident of Tokoname, made it, and Mayor Okajima Kin'ya wrote the inscription on the pedestal.
