Frequently asked questions
For how long are deposited publications stored?
There is no limit. Publications are stored as long as possible in an appropriate archival storage environment, and shared for use.
Won't the archives get full?
The Library makes effective use of space at its three facilities (the Tokyo Main Library, the Kansai-kan Library, and the International Library of Children's Literature) to ensure the closed stacks do not blow out. The Library also has long-term plans for extension of the closed stacks.
