I want to support the library! (Enhancement of library materials)
※Donations of individuals to Yokohama City are subject to tax credit as "hometown tax payment".
Last Updated September 20, 2024
Information on donations to the library
Donations from everyone will be used to purchase books that enrich children's reading and learning activities. Reading in childhood is an important experience. We look forward to your continued support. (Usage menu number 20)
Please be careful!
A site has been found that pretends to be treating your hometown tax payment at a discount.
Please note that there is nothing to do with "hometown tax payment" to Yokohama City.
