Current Status and Issues of Japanese Libraries
Why I chose to study about libraries
What image do you have of libraries? There are a lot of books and it seems a little old, quiet, there are people who are reading books and people who are studying ...
I have loved books since I was young and I often went to the library. That was a special place for me. I became a college student and I studied to qualify as a librarian. I got a lecture and learned about other libraries in other areas and other countries. The image of the library I had was a little part of the library .In Japan, in the world, I was know that there are many attractive libraries.
But, in the library industry, Japan is said to be a backward country. Japan seems to place less emphasis on culture such as knowledge and art than other countries. I can live without a library, but I think that it is necessary. I would like to think about how the library should be in order to enrich the lives of Japanese people in the future.
