Main award reasons

Introduction of school library revitalization promoters
School library revitalization promoters listen to class content from teachers and provide books along the theme. In addition to providing books, we also introduce books directly to children through "book talks," which leads to research and learning.

School reading mail
During the Autumn Reading Month, we conduct a school-wide reading mail service in which we write books we recommend on special postcards and send them to friends and teachers. It also creates an opportunity for children to voluntarily get involved in reading.
