Review of target list of Tsurumi Library in 2023

Regarding the Toyookacho complex, we will proceed with the maintenance study while incorporating the opinions of residents and other stakeholders.

We ask for user opinions through discussion meetings and inquiries from visitors. The status of the study was announced by posting and arranging newsletters in the building. While providing various opportunities to listen to the voices of the inhabitants of the ward, we proceeded with a cross-sectional study within the agency and formulated a basic design in March.
The current library is 42 years old and is aging, but repairs have been carried out so that the building can be operated smoothly, such as painting rooftop handrails, changing window handles, and using LED toilet lighting. Since there is a rebuilding plan, it is an issue to maintain it while keeping costs down until then.
