Step into Japan at the library 🇯🇵🎏📚

To celebrate Kodomo no Hi (Children's Day), we’ve created a special curated collection for both children and adults featuring stories, folklore, travel, art, food, culture, and everyday life in Japan.

Browse our display of colourful origami, postcards, and letters, then discover a new read to take home — from gentle picture books and manga to Japanese-inspired fiction and fascinating nonfiction.

Whether you’re curious about Japanese traditions, looking for a new read, or simply want to explore something different, we’d love for you to stop by 💛

Have you read a wonderful book set in Japan? Share your recommendations in the comments 👇

Tell us in the comments. We'd love to choose our next read with you 👇

"I recently read Gone Before Goodbye and whilst the book receives mixed reviews, I couldn't put it down." Rachel.
