Applying for a Library Card in Rumoi City

Libraries have always played an important role in history as a source of knowledge and information. However, with the rise of the internet and how fast information is exchanged, libraries as becoming obsolete and some are closing down. 

Applying for a Library Card in Rumoi City

I'm probably one of those people who still find enjoyment in spending an hour or two of quiet solitude in a place full of books. That's why finding a beautiful library in Rumoi City in Hokkaido Prefecture is a big plus for me. As an Assistant Language Teacher (ALT) under the JET Programme, I have to be a good role model of continuous learning for my students. Since I only came equipped with the basic Hiragana and Katakana. I could say that the kid's section in the library improved my Japanese vocabulary and reading skills in the past months. I even borrow books and read them on the bus during my long commute to my visit school.
