Sounding-type Market Research on the Management and Operation of Inagi City Library

Results of the Sounding Market Research and the City's Policy

In September 2024, we conducted individual dialogues for a sounding-type market survey and received various ideas from Business Operators.

We have compiled the main opinions on the items that the city previously raised as themes for individual discussions, as well as the city's policy based on the sounding-type market research, and we will make this public.

About the Implementation of Sounding-Type Market Research

Currently, the Central Library of Inagi City is operated as a PFI project, while the branch libraries are managed directly by the city.
As the PFI project period for the Central Library will end in June of the 8th year of Reiwa, we are considering the future management of libraries in Inagi City, including the Central Library and branch libraries.
Therefore, we would like to hear opinions from private Business Operators and conduct a sounding-type market survey to ensure more appropriate facility management as a city. We encourage your participation.
