Just about a 5-minute walk from Ushihama Station on the Ome Line, I found myself walking towards the entrance of City Chuo Library, a public library in Fussa. Being a bookworm, I was delighted to discover a library situated in a residential area. Hence, I went inside and saw several lines of books divided into different categories and sections. They also offer several shelves of books and novels in English. The library is divided into different areas -- the kids' section, young adults zone, seniors' corner -- and computers are also available to use.

I am not reading person but I love the quietness of library .
You'd surely enjoy the peacefulness of their libraries here. They are not as quiet as the libraries in my country.
