Sagamiharashi Public Library

An ordinary library. I came to the orthopedic waiting area for the first time. The staff had a good feeling. Children's picture book corner was so good that they could take off their shoes and be sucked by the carpet. Kanuma Park is on the other side of the road.

It is old and lacking in brightness. The self-study space on the 2nd floor is very large and highly recommended for students. However, can someone with a strong personality (those who have their stomachs removed) or go out? There is an old man who can say that.

It's been over 20 years since I started going. The building's deterioration is unavoidable, and it certainly has an old impression. It was damaged during the Great East Japan Earthquake and closed for a while, but rebuilding would have been difficult due to budget issues. However, after a while, the toilets were remodeled, and the space for each car in the parking lot became larger in accordance with the recent enlargement of the car body, and at the same time the asphalt was rebuilt. Hard is difficult to change, but soft can improve. This is a place where you can use it comfortably, as the operation method is being improved and responded to according to the technology of the times. The reservation/search system for the three Sagamihara City Libraries was renewed long ago. The home page is easier to read, the image on the cover of the book is displayed, and it is beautifully made. There are best reader and best order items and you can see popular books, so it will be helpful. I remember that up to 6 books were reserved, but now 10 books are OK. There has been a method to book series books in order, but it is still used today and is convenient. However, please keep in mind that it will take time to receive it after all the volumes have been collected. The book you booked will be emailed to you so you can pick it up immediately. The renting methods have diversified in line with the era of widespread use of ICT equipment. You can rent with the existing lending ticket, as well as with the Suica/PASMO (procedure in advance. You can do it on the PC in the building) or the bar code displayed on My Page of the homepage. Those who do not want to carry a rental ticket or who have forgotten it at home are okay. I'm always impressed that I'm not well thought out. Employees' response has been improved. Like most public facilities these days, you can call them "customers." Although I feel a little uncomfortable for myself, I am glad that he can respond politely. There are several windows at the counter. The arrangement is also structured so that they are lined up in a row and the vacant windows call in order. In addition, the counter on the left side is a place to receive issuance and requests of loan tickets, but in the past, even if the person in charge was sitting, I was not dealing with anything other than the dedicated work, but I will return it when it is empty・You can now check out the loan. The staff members also changed their language and smiled more. This is a great change for those who have been using it for a long time. I feel that it is wonderful to make such small changes. I will make a request when there are books I want to purchase. This hasn't changed, and you can't do it without going to the library. It would be technically possible to do it on the homepage, but it would be because it would not be possible to respond if there were a large number of requests and it became easy. I understand the point, but I'm happy that it would be convenient if it could be done on the homepage. Also, if you have collections in other municipalities with which you work, you can request them by proceeding. The reading room on the 2nd floor was often used by children during their summer vacation when they were in elementary school. It's very wide and easy to use, but in recent years, it seems that some posts doubt the user's morals. It seems that enlightenment is necessary in the future. Compared to the library in the neighboring city of Yokohama, it may be inferior in terms of facilities, but I feel that it is leading in terms of operation. I would like to continue to take care of you.

普通の図書館。建物の設計、特に窓がなく照明が暗めなところに加え、資料の展示等に時代の変化を感じる。そろそろ改修・建替もある時期だろうが、おそらく先送りに。

It is not a new building, but it has an environment where you can concentrate and it is easy to use.
