In fiscal 2014, Kanagawa Ward formulated the "Activity Targets for Promoting Reading Activities in Kanagawa Ward" and promoted reading activities in order to promote reading activities in accordance with regional characteristics. In order to spread the joy and charm of reading to as many inhabitants as possible, we will expand the leaders of reading activities, develop a reading environment, and promote reading activities while responding to new issues.

1. Increase opportunities for children to get acquainted with reading
2. Expand support for reading activities for the elderly and disabled
3. Increase the number of people responsible for reading activities

Here are some of the facilities in Kanagawa Ward that rent and read books and hold talks.
