[Project Name] Kofu Municipal Library 100th Anniversary / Mobile Library "Nadeshiko-go" Renewal Project: Nurturing People Shining in the Future
https://fcf.furunavi.jp/Project/Detail?projectid=1029
[Overview of Support]
Kofu Municipal Library will celebrate its 100th anniversary in fiscal year 2026. Acting as a "regional hub of knowledge," it has supported lifelong learning for citizens. The mobile library "Nadeshiko-go," operated by the facility, handles approximately 18,000 book loans annually and functions as a crucial service for areas with limited access to the library.
However, the current "Nadeshiko-go" has been in service for 20 years and is aging. Due to the discontinuation of parts and increased breakdown risks, stable operations are becoming difficult.
In response to numerous requests to keep the service running, the city will update the vehicle to ensure it continues to serve as a symbol of lifelong learning for the next 100 years. This renewal is an "investment in the future" to support regional learning, children's reading habits, and community revitalization.
[Usage of Funds]
Donations collected through this project will be used for the purchase of the new mobile library vehicle and equipment maintenance.
