Second Tsurumi Ward Reading Activity Promotion Target (PDF: 3,442KB)

Purpose of Formulation

In Yokohama-shi, "the regulations about promotion of reading activity of Yokohama citizen" were enforced on April 1, 2014. In addition, in March, 2014, "Yokohama citizen book-reading activity promotion plan" was devised to support citizen's book-reading activity from child to elderly person widely.
Based on this plan, Tsurumi Ward established the Tsurumi Ward Reading Activity Promotion Goals in February 2015 to promote reading activities in accordance with the locality of the Tsurumi Ward, in cooperation with ward offices, libraries and schools.
Following the formulation of the Second Yokohama Citizen's Reading Activity Promotion Plan in December 2019, Tsurumi Ward has formulated the Second Tsurumi Ward Reading Activity Promotion Target as an indication of the direction of promoting reading activities in the future based on the achievement of our efforts so far.
This target is approximately five years from 2020.

Goal 1

We will promote initiatives for a wide range of generations, from infants to the elderly, and promote the creation of an environment where all residents can enjoy reading by incorporating a multicultural perspective unique to Tsurumi Ward.

Goal 2

In Tsurumi Ward, there are many facilities and reading volunteers responsible for reading activities, and we will promote mutual exchange of information and business cooperation in each of these activities to foster a rich place for reading activities throughout the region.
