・Hours of operation will be Monday through Saturday, from 9 am to 6 pm. (Periodical section is also open on Sundays and Holidays.)
・Please refrain from using the library if you have a fever, cough, or otherwise feel ill.
・Please avoid the close-contact with others in closed spaces (the Cs) when using the library.
・Please wear a mask and sanitize your hand at the entrance.
・In order to prevent infection, the number of seats has been reduced to prevent users from being seated close together.
・The Library staff is disinfecting the used computers, tables, desks, chairs, and other furnishings.
・The windows are opened for ventilation.
