神戸市立兵庫図書館

The Kobe Municipal Hyogo Library is a branch of the Kobe City Library system located on the second floor of the Canal Town East building. The space holds books, magazines, and digital resources for visitors of all ages.

The library was established to serve the growing population of Hyogo Ward with access to books and information resources. Over time, it expanded its collection and services to meet community needs.

The library introduced its official mascot character 'Toshoko-chan' in 2016, which represents the connection between books and the Hyogo community.

Visitors can find this location inside a shopping center that is easy to access with parking available nearby. Plan your visit during operating hours and bring a library card if you wish to borrow materials.

In 2023, this location installed a book sterilization device that uses ultraviolet light and air flow to remove dust and contaminants. This technology helps keep materials clean and preserved.
