Technical Book All-You-Can-Read Service "TechLib" to Launch "Spring 2026 Free Trial Expansion Campaign" from April 1st

TechLib Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo; President & CEO: Takashi Takahashi) and Legal Technology Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Chuo-ku, Tokyo; Representative Director & CEO: Yasuharu Futagi) will implement the "Spring 2026 Free Trial Expansion Campaign" for the technical book all-you-can-read service "TechLib" (https://techlib.co.jp/), which strongly supports IT engineers' skill improvement. During the period from Wednesday, April 1, 2026, to Sunday, May 31, 2026, the usual 10-day free trial period will be extended to "30 days" (35 days for corporate members).

This campaign targets IT engineers aspiring to acquire new skills in line with the new fiscal year, as well as those aiming to become engineers. By providing a longer 30-day trial period than usual, it encourages the thorough reading of difficult specialized books and their utilization as references in the field, providing strong support to transform skill acquisition from "one-time learning" to a "continuous habit." During the campaign period, in conjunction with the start of the new fiscal year, "introductory books for freshers" and "manga-style explanatory books" will be lined up, and books on themes such as "programming languages and frameworks" and "coexistence with AI agents" will be made available.
