Not sure why I had reduced it to three stars, but it's basically a regular four-star branch. Right now my bigger question is what triggers Google Maps to harass me about old reviews, especially considering how weak the notion of time is in these reviews. I still visit the branch pretty often, though my primary is different now. As usual I'll leave the older comment below. According to Google Maps it was supposed to be open, but it's actually closed today. Not sure if that's a schedule error or just a special Monday closing. I gave it three stars anyway, based on a prior visit.

Located in a quiet upscale residential area. In Suginami Ward's library, there are many seats in the magazine corner.

During the day, the newspaper and magazine corner on the first floor is full of elderly people, but there aren't that many on the second floor, where the books are located, so you can sit and choose a book. There are materials even in deep places. Even adults will stop by, including a section aimed at junior high and high school students. The facilities are old, but I like the open and calm feeling.

The building is a sieve It is beautifully maintained. There are also several desks and chairs. Please note that depending on the length of your legs, you may end up hitting the bottom of the desk. I hope I can stop by again.

It's an old building, so don't expect too much from the facilities. (There is a water cooler) Children's space is small, If you want to relax in the picture book corner, go to the Central Library, etc. We recommend using your local library. The second floor is a space where working adults and students mainly study. There aren't many people talking or sleeping around, so it's always quiet. Rentals and returns are relatively quick.
