Sounding-type market research on the management and operation of Inagi City Library

Currently, Inagi City's Central Library is run as a PFI project, and the branch libraries are operated directly by the city.
As the Central Library's PFI project period will end in June 2026, we are currently considering the future management of Inagi City's libraries, including the Central Library and branch libraries.
Therefore, we will be conducting a market sounding survey to hear the opinions of private business operators and to ensure that the city operates the facility in a more appropriate manner. We look forward to your participation.

(1) Regarding the management and operation of the Inagi City Library as a whole

• New services not available in conventional libraries
• About the project and costs
• Regarding the library information system (whether or not to use vendors procured by the city, proposals regarding servers)
• Future outlook for public library operations in light of the current situation

(2) Management and Operation of the Central Library

• New ancillary services that can be provided at the Central Library
• New uses for the cafe in the central building
• New uses for the Central Library Reading Terrace
• New uses for the Shiroyama Experience Learning Center adjacent to the Central Library
• New services provided by the Central Library at the City Hospital Distribution Center

(3) Management and operation of branch libraries

• New ways to use the library due to the expansion of reading seats

(4) Others

• Other free suggestions

Prior to the individual dialogues, we held a preliminary briefing session on the project outline and the purpose of the dialogue, as well as a site tour of the main facilities.
Please note that participation in the information session or site tour is not a condition for participating in individual dialogues.
