=== Target ===By creating a place that is truly a "treasure trove of information," students can develop the habit of "just going to the library" if they don't understand something or have any concerns.
no edit summary
===Background===
Kawauchi Library(Miyagi, Japan) functions as Tohoku University's general library. However, the number of people who use it becomes decreased. Also, Kawauchi Garage in this library is the start-up space, but this is not used now. As a result, the library is trending downward. We think it is very serious problem because the library is the central information hub. We believe there is one problem; students cannot use a lot of information in library.<br />
=== Challenge ===<br />We will create new space in library. This includes a lot of parts. For instance, in period of exams, there is a support space where supporters are. It also be a consultation counter like studying abroad, starting a business, taking on new challenges, obtaining qualifications, job hunting, etc.
There is one of important place. It is a cafe. There used to be a cafe here a while ago, but it was removed due to management issues. However, as seen in the current social trends, the cafe serves as a workspace. We believe that by deliberately setting up a cafe in the library, we can create a variety of "comfortable environments."
Moreover, we suggest that library should have a relax space. Now, we only can read some books on the desk(like siting chair and reading), but some people want to read in the relax space. So, we create such a space according to needs.
We believe that these will increase motivation to visit the library and help ensure that the library continues to function as a sustainable repository of information.<br />
===Target===
People who don't visit the library much these days
People who are in trouble and have nowhere to seek advice
People who want to do something but can't move
