Starting in January 2026, the reservation period for books at the automated book collection machines (Sannomiya-Hanadokeimae stations) will be reduced from five days to four days. This is to improve the situation where it is taking time to prepare reserved books due to increased usage, and to deliver books to users more quickly.
・The library card number is a 10-digit half-width alphanumeric character starting with "P". The "P" can be uppercase or lowercase.[If you have forgotten your password]
Your password will be reset. Please come to the Kobe City Library counter in person with your library card.
・If you have already issued and changed your password by the end of December 2022, your password will be returned to a temporary password with the library system update in January 2023. The temporary password is your 8-digit date of birth in the Western calendar.
You can check the lending and reservation status, and extend the lending period from "My Library".
・The automatic reservation book receiving machine at Sannomiya Hanadokei-mae Station has a limited number of books that can be received, and it may take some time to receive the books after they have been delivered.
