The Osaka Prefectural Central Library, which boasts the largest collection of books in Osaka, opened in Higashiosaka City in 1996. In addition to books and materials in a wide range of fields, from general books to academic books, the library also has an Internet corner and an AV room. In the ``Children's Resource Room,'' which has a collection of children's books, magazines, and picture-story shows, picture book readings and craft and origami classes are held. Furthermore, the ``International Children's Literature Museum'' was relocated from Expo'70 Park to the inside of the building, and the materials for children have been further expanded. Furthermore, in the ``face-to-face reading room,'' people with visual impairments can receive services such as face-to-face reading and the use of audio-to-speech software. In addition to a multipurpose hall where events such as seminars and concerts can be held, there are also refreshing spaces such as a coffee room and a rooftop garden.
