門真市立図書館

Opened in 1977, Kadoma City Library stands as a testament to the city’s commitment to knowledge and learning. Kadoma City Library has served the community for decades. It has offered a wide range of books and resources to its patrons. In 1988, the library expanded its services with the opening of the Kadoma Branch. This branch offered access to local history materials, government documents, and reference materials. Kadoma City Library also witnessed a significant event in 1995. The Great Hanshin Earthquake caused damage to the reference room, impacting access to valuable resources. Despite this setback, the library continued its mission. In 2007, the Kadoma Branch closed, paving the way for a new chapter in the library’s history. The Kadoma City Library, Shimin Plaza Branch opened within the Shimin Plaza. Kadoma City Library has continually evolved to meet the needs of its community. In 2020, a significant decision was made to designate a private company, カルチュア・コンビニエンス・クラブ株式会社, as the specified administrator of the library. This transition marked a new era. In 2024, the main branch of Kadoma City Library was officially placed under the management of this company. A further transformation took place in 2025. The main library was relocated to a lifelong learning complex, sharing space with other educational facilities. The Shimin Plaza branch now stands as the main library. Kadoma City Library offers a range of services to its users. Borrowers can take out up to 15 books for three weeks, and AV materials can be borrowed for two weeks. This service is not limited to Kadoma City residents. It extends to residents, workers, and students in seven cities within the Kitakawa region, and even to residents of Osaka City. Kadoma City Library continues to grow and adapt, embracing the future of libraries while honoring its rich past.
