About us

Books nurture the heart.
We continue the Swanbunko in the hope that many children will feel happy, joyful and empathetic when they read books.

Dozens of new Japanese picture books, illustrated books and picture story shows are purchased from Japan every year.

Books are available on the bookshelf for borrowing at your convenience during the Swanbunko library hours.

All books are color-coded by age group.
