Takarazuka City Library

Takarazuka City Library, Public library in Takarazuka, Japan.

Takarazuka City Library is a public library system with two main libraries, three branch rooms and a mobile library. The Central Library, in a three-storey reinforced-concrete building with a brick-coloured facade and a glass ground floor, shares its building with the Vega Hall cultural centre next to Kiyoshikojin Station on the Hankyu Takarazuka Line.

A mobile library called Takara-go began touring in June 1966, and a small reading room followed in 1968. The library ordinance was enacted on 29 March 1980, and the library opened on 2 October 1980 in a brick-coloured building beside Vega Hall at Kiyoshikojin Station. It was renamed Takarazuka City Central Library on 1 April 1994, when the western branch was established.

The Seikō Bunko collection on the first floor of the Central Library holds art books and materials on the Takarazuka Revue. It is funded by admission fees from the Tessai Art Museum at Kiyoshikōjin Seijō-ji, which donates all its entrance income to the city as a book-purchase fund. Materials cannot be borrowed.

The Central Library sits next to Vega Hall, immediately by the south exit of Kiyoshikojin Station on the Hankyu Takarazuka Line; its glass ground floor looks onto the tracks. Borrowing requires registration, open to residents, workers and students of Takarazuka and of seven Hanshin cities and one town. Books circulate ten at a time for two weeks; audiovisual material is for in-house viewing only.

The Seikō Bunko art collection on the central library's first floor is funded by admission fees from the Tessai Art Museum at Kiyoshikōjin Seijō-ji temple, which donates its entire take to the city as a book-purchase fund. It holds art history, painting, calligraphy, sculpture and craft material, including Takarazuka Revue items, and is free to view but does not lend.
