University Library

The University Library offers extensive materials used in education and research, as well as full facilities and systems (a multimedia hall, Internet search system, etc.) to enable the effective use of these diverse materials.

As a community university library, it is open for use by the general public, including junior high school and high school students, and incorporates an outside counter and a regional consortium library. The goal of the Library is to deepen ties with the community by being "A Library that can be used by anyone in the community at any time."
