Activities of the Student Library Committee
The Student Library Committee is composed of interested students from the 2nd year of junior high school to the second year of senior high school. The roles of counter monitor (loans and returns), book-binding monitor, public-relations monitor, magazine monitor and acceptance monitor are divided among the volunteers. The Committee is active once a week during the lunch break and from dismissal to 4PM.
During the summer break the Committee conducts tours of the facilities and holds exchange meetings with other library committees. In the fall all members work on publication of the school's public-relations magazine, Ya.
