There is a "town library" in Midori Ward.

The town library is a "small library in the city" where everyone brings together books and nurtures together.
On the bookshelf, there are books that were impressed by the owner of the book, and books that everyone would like everyone to read.
You also pick up the book, write down what you felt on your impression card, and attach a message to the recommended book.
Would you like to arrange it on the bookshelf?
