Enjoy Family Reading Time in the Amphitheater-like Grand Reading Space and Children's Area
About this spot
The Ishikawa Prefectural Library in Konakadano features an impressive "forest of books" with cascading bookshelves arranged like a circular amphitheater. The gently tiered bookshelves organized by theme are a pleasure simply to walk through and admire, and you can choose your favorite seat from the distinctive variety of chairs placed throughout the library. There's also a children's area where you can remove your shoes to enjoy picture books, making it perfect for families to spend a relaxed rainy evening together. As a fitting conclusion to your day, you might even search for books about the art and crafts you've seen.
Tips
Admission is free, and the spacious parking lot and easy indoor access make it well-suited for rainy days. The library features both quiet reading areas and conversation-friendly zones, so families with children can find peace of mind in the children's area. Please check the opening calendar in advance, as the library has specific closed days including Mondays. It's about a 10-minute drive or bus ride from Hondamori Forest.
Best time to visit
Approximately 1 hour 30 minutes. Evening visits are especially atmospheric as the library's lights create a welcoming ambiance.
