Study Spaces

Brand new reading desks and chairs have been brought in, creating a relaxing space for studying. Materials cannot be copied in this room, but students may temporarily check them out. The lending period is one week for general books and until closing time on the day of check-out for reference books and magazines. The lending period for the frequently checked out “Japanese Translations of the Scriptures” and “Taisho Edition of the Buddhist Canon,” however, is the same as the period for reference books. The bound magazines that were previously set up in the student study rooms have been moved to the 5 th floor of Building A of the Main Library. |
