Chie Fukuro Library has a full-time librarian. It has a floor area of 85sqm, 4,051 books in collection, 46 specialized Japanese and Western magazines purchased on a regular basis, an internet reference search system and meeting rooms.
The library is open between 10:00 and 16:00 (24-hr perusal time), and as the core of research for the hospital, it has many specialized books, magazines specializing in internal medicine, surgery and psychiatry, an internet reference search system, and a specialist librarian.
Prompted by the recommendation to centralize the library's functions according to the evaluation of the Hospital's functions in 2004, it was decided to build a library instead of improving the existing library room. Chie Fukuro opened the following year as a detached library.
