Hoshiten Circular Library
What is “Hoshiten Circular Library” and how it works?
“Hoshiten Circular Library” is a community-based-free-library. It aims to create a circulation of knowledge within the local community as if the books travel around the neighborhood.

Have some books that are finished and no longer needed? You can bring and donate them to the library bookshelf. They would be passed onto the other person and kept in use!
You do not have any books to donate? No worry! You can always come by and take books and make them your own without donating. After you finished the books, please come back and put them back in the local circulation.
*returning books is NOT required.
Any books, such as novels, picture books, and even mangas in any language are greately welcomed!
