My most memorable encounter with the library was when I was in the fifth grade of elementary school.Her first club activity in class, naturally she chose her favorite baseball (softball).However, as a result of lottery with many applicants, it was rejected.I had no choice but to go to the Book Club.Children who don't have the habit of reading just pass the time.The book I had no choice but to borrow was Sakae Tsuboi's House with a Persimmon Tree.I can't picture the entire library, but I can still clearly see the bookshelves where the books were located.

Of course, even in junior high school, I didn't read books, and went straight to a naughty high school student.The library exists as an annex separate from the building where classes are taken.A student who rarely visits happens to enter the building with a friend.So I found "Purchase Desired Book Paper".As a test, write the name of the book you found in the book review section of the newspaper a few days ago, and put it in the submission box.After a while, when I went to check it out, I found Taro Wakamori's "Virtual and Real Images of Japanese History" in the new book corner with the back cover facing me.

When he had too much time on his hands during his time as a ronin, he went to a bookstore near the station and picked up Genji Keita's Clock Face, which inspired him to become fascinated by printing.Since then, both his home and his current laboratory have been overflowing with books for nearly half a century.

There is a strong image that the library is a place that must be kept quiet, and some people take a step back.Also, if you are not good at printing, some people may fall into the illusion that printing is rampant in the space.However, printing is said to be the greatest invention of mankind, and type is the embodiment of that.

The library is a place where you can taste the wisdom of mankind left behind as culture through print.Moreover, now a number of media including video have been added to it, and it is becoming more awesome as a media library.

Libraries, not only in foreign countries but also in Japan, play a role in the future of people as a cultural information transmission center from the building itself.First of all, why don't you start by finding your place in the library near your home, and then in the media library at the university?

Finally, I would like to end this article by stating that Hama Omura's "Teaching" is the book that still supports me in my 40-odd years as a teacher.
