Location of Return Post Boxes

The post boxes are located at the entrance of the library on the 3rd floor of the Kobe Fashion Museum.

Books dropped in the mailboxes will be collected every Wednesday and Saturday morning and returned to the Higashinada Library for processing. Until the books are processed, they will remain “on loan.” If you are in a hurry, please return the books directly to the respective city libraries.

<A word from the reporter>
It is quite nice for Rokuai residents not to have to return books borrowed from the Nada or Higashinada libraries in person! By the way, return post boxes outside the libraries are also available at JR Nada Station, Sannomiya and Hanadokomae Subway Stations, Meya Subway Station, Suzurandai Station of Kobe Electric Railway, and in front of JR and Sanyo Electric Railway’s Tarumi Station♪
