Oda City Central Library "Library Festival"

About this event

Held at Oda City Central Library on Sunday, November 22, 2026, the "Library Festival" is an event designed to help visitors feel closer to the library. A variety of programs can be enjoyed on the day from 10:00 to 18:00. As the main event, the "Ginzan Karuta" card game—also serving as a pre-event for the 20th anniversary of World Heritage inscription—will take place from 10:30 to 12:00, allowing all participants to enjoy playing with oversized karuta cards. Furthermore, from 13:00 to 15:00, a "Dutch Folk Art Workshop" will be held to craft original bookmarks using paint techniques originating from the Netherlands, with a 500 yen participation fee. In addition, from 15:00 to 16:00, a curator from the Sanbe Nature Museum Sahimel will host an outreach storytelling session titled "Insects Are Fascinating! - Slightly Surprising Stories About Bugs." Prior registration is required for these events. Throughout the day, food stalls offering local delicacies such as "Nikomusubi," "Yagi Coffee," and "Fukushi Network Niji," as well as "Imai Shoten" selling books, will also be present. Because the parking lot may be crowded on the day, visitors can use the Oda City Hall Main Office parking lot if the library lot is full.
