Sapporo Kiyota Library (札幌市清田図書館)

Flow of the course

About this spot

A district library in Kiyota Ward, easy to drop into since it sits in the center of the ward. The children's section is well organized, and the best part is that children can browse the shelves themselves and choose a book according to their mood that day. Being indoors, it also works well as a cool place to spend the morning before the sun gets strong. Building the day so that summer homework research is finished here before heading off to play changes how satisfying the whole day feels. Starting with quiet time makes the sense of release even greater when they throw themselves into activity in the afternoon.

Tips

Check the opening hours and closed days in advance. Eating and drinking are restricted inside, so have drinks outside. Carrying borrowed books around all day adds weight, so leave them in the car or plan to stop by on the way home to stay light. Using the restroom before moving on gives peace of mind.

Best time to visit

About 1 hour. It is quiet right after opening, so you can take your time choosing.
