The Imperial Library was first constructed in 1906 and was later renamed the National Library in 1947. In 1948 the National Diet Library was established. In 2000 after reorganization it was known as the International Library of Children’s Literature. Its mission is to provide for all children, reading activities, to cultivate sensitivity, to heighten power of expression, to enrich h creativity and to acquire power for living life more deeply.

Domestic resources

As a dedicated children's library that forms part of the National Diet Library (NDL), the ILCL maintains a complete collection of children's books (defined as materials intended primarily for users aged up to 18 years) published in Japan, based on the legal deposit system, under which publishers are required by law to furnish a copy of every new publication to the NDL. Since FY 2002, the Library has also collected school

textbooks. Materials are also digitized for purposes of preservation and storage.

Foreign resources

The ILCL houses children's books and related resources which it acquires from about 120 countries and regions through purchases, international exchanges, and donations. 1 Basic roles The International Library of Children’s Literature (ILCL), established as a branch of the National Diet Library (NDL), is the first national library in Japan that specializes in children’s literature. It was founded in January 2000, partially opened to the public in May 2000 and started full services in May 2002. The basic roles of the ILCL are as follows: 1) Role as a special library for children’s literature - To widely collect, preserve and provide domestic and foreign children’s books and related materials, and at the same time, support various activities concerning children’s books and children’s reading through researches, training programs, information service, etc. 2) Role as a place where children meet books - To provide all children with opportunities to enjoy reading and libraries through the provision of Japanese and foreign children’s books, various events, guided tours and information service, etc. 3) Role as a museum of children’s books - To broadly introduce the charm of children’s books to the public through exhibitions on children’s books and related lectures, various events, etc. Go to page 6

2 Organization and collections The ILCL comprises three divisions under the Director General: the Planning and Cooperation Division, the Resources and Information Division and the Children’s Services Division. There are 37 staff members. The collection exceeds 300,000 books. A Japanese children’s book delivered to the Tokyo Main Library of the NDL is catalogued and provided to the ILCL. The ILCL enriches the information of the cataloging record by adding the plot, information on awards won and specialized information, puts the record on the Union Catalog of Children's Literature (Japanese only), and makes it available on the Internet. The ILCL acquires foreign books mainly by purchase, and the collection covers 120 countries and regions. 3 Services (1) On-site user services i)Reading, copying, and reference service There are two reading rooms: Researchers' Reading Room 1, where materials of Asian countries are open-shelf, and Researchers' Reading Room 2, where materials of non-Asian countries are open-shelf. In principle, these rooms are aimed at people age 18 or older. ii)Services for children As services for children, about 12,000 children’s books that have been read by one generation after another, and materials that introduce the geography, history and folklore of the world, are placed on open shelves in the rooms named Children's Library and Meet the World. DVDs for children are available in the Media Corner. On weekends, story-telling sessions, reading of picture books, and the Story Hour for Babies and Toddlers (an event with children’s songs and picture books) are conducted in the Story Hour Room. During the summer holidays, a “Fun with Science” event is held so that children can find science enjoyable. (2) Exhibitions

Various exhibitions on Japanese and foreign children’s books are held in the Museum on the third floor in order to stress the charm of children’s books and give children opportunities to meet books. The exhibition “Children's Books Going Overseas from Japan” commemorating the 10th anniversary of the opening of the ILCL is taking place from February 2010. Japanese children’s books translated and published in foreign countries are on display in the exhibition, and visitors can learn about the spread of Japanese children’s books across the world.

(3) Internet service

The ILCL is committed to provide on its website information useful for people engaged in children’s services, such as the Union Catalog of Children's Literature, operated jointly by NDL and seven major institutions which hold Japanese children’s books.
