On February 22, Kashiwa Library will celebrate its 20th anniversary*.

When the library opened in 2005, the rows of zelkova trees were still young.

In addition to its function as a back-number center for natural science journals, the library will continue to fulfill its role of connecting people inside and outside the university as a “library that supports the exchange of knowledge".
