We visited the Shanghai Library East Building, a public library in Shanghai, which opened in September 2022.
This library is a smart library that utilizes DX, and is equipped with the latest equipment such as management of borrowed books using mobile apps, unmanned loans and return counter, guidance to books with built-in mobile chips, and robot guidance.
In March this year, Yokohama City formulated the “Yokohama City Library Vision,” which shows the future library's goals and the direction of initiatives. We will make use of the knowledge gained through this inspection to create a better library in Yokohama.
