Kita Central Library

A definitive place for Kita city. Vast collections of books, both in terms of the topics covered and languages available. Spacious learning spaces, convenient groupwork room, a whole floor dedicated for children’s books and playground, and a fashionable cafe. They even have a room dedicated for the district’s history and several mini exhibition about the history of the library itself, which used to be a brick built bullet factory since war time.

Great library. I found all the books I wanted and more. French and English also. I recommend the place. Nice walk from the station.

This is the library that Alice in Wonderland would love if she was alive. Great space, architecture, history, collection of foreign books and Kids section FLOOR ... I'm mean you want to be a kid again. Very nice assistance and the bathrooms are super clean and spacforplaceslikethisIlives, (everywhere you look) is variable and a place to sit depends on how comfortable you want to be, from hi chairs to private cubicles, single sofas, low chairs to cushions. #forplaceslikethisIlive

Excellent collection of English books, even though the Google Maps directions were pretty bad. Apparently Google Maps is leading you to the ground floor entrance even though there is another entrance on the second floor in the back that's much closer to Oji Station. It's a quite large library with a rather complicated layout. One of the things that caught my attention was extensive collections of translated manga, including translations into French and German.

Great place
