A1 Currently, there is no specific plan for the expansion of City Library, but as a familiar and convenient service, the implementation of a book agency service that allows you to borrow and return reserved books at places other than the library, and the mobile library "Hamakaze" Is traveling around the city.

A2 Regarding the book agency service (a service that allows you to borrow and return reserved books in places other than the library), we believe that it is effective as a convenient and convenient service for citizens. The implementation of the book agency service will be considered, taking into account the distance from the library, the expected number of users, and necessary expenses.

A3 Regarding opening days, from December 2001, the closed days of Monday have been abolished once a week until then, and the year-end and New Year holidays, facility inspections once a year, and special arrangement of books once a year. Except for days.
The extension of the opening hours must be considered, including the balance between expenses and effects, and there is no new plan to extend it at this time.

A4 Municipal Central Library collects music video materials such as CDs and DVDs for research purposes. Materials collected for the purpose of research and research will not be rented, but will be viewed at the museum and viewed.

A5 There are many requests for the number of reserved books, but there is a concern that increasing the number of reserved books will spur the situation of waiting for those who wish to have the same book waiting. In addition, due to issues such as an increase in the amount of book delivery, the upper limit of the number of reserved books is kept at the current six books.
