長崎縣立長崎圖書館, Public library in Nagasaki and Ōmura, Japan
The Nagasaki Prefectural Library (長崎縣立長崎圖書館) is a public library in Japan with two locations, one in Nagasaki city and one in Ōmura, offering books, journals, and digital materials to anyone who visits. Both locations share a single catalog, so readers can search and request items from either branch through the same platform.
The library was founded in 1912 as one of the first public library institutions in Nagasaki Prefecture, laying the groundwork for organized library services across the region. It later expanded with a second location in Ōmura to serve communities further from the main city.
The library holds a wide selection of works about the Nagasaki region, including books by local authors and materials on the history of the prefecture. Visitors interested in the area's past and traditions will find a good range of sources gathered in one place.
Both locations offer reading areas where visitors can sit and work at their own pace without needing to reserve in advance. Checking the shared online catalog before visiting helps to confirm which branch holds the materials you need.
The library is part of the Mirai-on Library project, which connects printed collections with digital tools and community programs that go beyond borrowing books. This means visitors can take part in events and use digital services that a traditional library would not normally offer.
