At the Kansai University Library, as part of the reading enlightenment campaign, professional bookstore staff are working on a "custom-made book selection" that matches students who are "worried about book selection" with one of the selected books.The period is from April to early June.

 Nowadays, the younger generation is moving away from reading.At Kansai University, we are developing a reading enlightenment campaign in collaboration with large bookstores such as Maruzen-Yushodo and Kinokuniya Bookstore, with the idea that "I want many students to know the charm of books that enrich their lives." There is.This time, a matching project with books utilizing the "2019 books to give to new students" in 100, which was carried out as part of reading enlightenment.When a student submits a reading chart consisting of five simple questions, a selection of books from professional bookstores, buyers and other book professionals will be delivered with a message.

 Students who receive one of the selected books submit their impressions to the bookstore clerk or buyer who introduced the book.The aim is not to end with a one-time formal exchange, but to create new encounters and discoveries of "books and people," "people and people," and "libraries and students" through mutual information exchange.This time, 1 students used "made-to-order book selection".One of the users, Mino Akitomi (99st year student of the Faculty of Law), was introduced to "Let's stop talking about it today (by Inoue Areno)" and said, "I'm sure I couldn't pick it up myself. Book. Thank you for the wonderful opportunity. I definitely want to use it again. "

 In addition, at the Kansai University Library, "100 books to give to new students" will be used to exchange meetings with editors for the purpose of deepening the understanding of books, "this question and answer", and "double enjoyment of movies and original works". Events such as "Movie Screening" are also planned.In addition, an ebook service has been introduced as a reading enlightenment. Most of the "100 books for new students" can be read as ebooks.
