School cooperation of Tsurumi Library

Based on the Yokohama Citizens' Reading Activity Promotion Plan, Tsurumi Library is working with public elementary and junior high schools in the city to enhance the reading environment for children.

Service for schools in Yokohama City Library

Books used in classes are lent to faculty and staff. You can borrow 40 books per person for up to 30 days.
Library books are used in various classes at schools.

You can also read and compare the books of the same author of the works featured in the textbook, or order multiple books according to the theme of your study to help you study and study.

Even if the title of the book is not fixed, you can also request such as "about ○ books on the theme of XX". Please contact us as soon as possible, as it may take some time to order, or if the same theme overlaps at the same time, we may not be able to prepare.

When elementary school students visit the library, the librarian will explain the classification and labels of books so that children can search for books on their own.

In addition, at the story-telling party, students have a story-telling experience so that you can enjoy the world of picture books and folk tales.

In research study, you can use library books to do research. The librarian will explain how to use the reference books.

You can also visit local schools where you can't easily come to the library.

For elementary school lower grades, talk sessions will be held as an opportunity to get acquainted with the world of books, and for elementary school junior high school students, book talks (introduce some books according to a certain theme) to expand the range of reading. I will do it.

We help solve the issues faced by each school library through discussions with the teachers in charge and school librarians.

We provide consultation according to the circumstances of each school so that you can make use of the know-how of public libraries, such as basic knowledge on book classification and labels, arrangement of bookshelves and exhibitions, in school libraries.

For volunteers who are active in schools, such as reading stories and school libraries, we hold lectures for volunteers and receive consultations on how to select picture books and how to repair books.

In addition, groups that volunteer at school can borrow 30 books per group for reading aloud, etc., up to 30 days by registering for a group loan.

We will visit the meeting of the teachers in charge of the library at the school in the ward and provide information on using the library and explain the business. In addition, training is also available for teachers and school librarians located at each school.

We accept junior high school and high school students in the city and carry out work experience learning. It is an opportunity to experience "work" that you can not usually experience at school, such as lending and returning books at the counter, returning books to bookshelves, and making reservations in the office, and to feel the meaning of working.
In occupational interviews, we answer questions such as the work of library staff, their rewards, and why they chose this profession.
