The College Library supports study and research by students and investigators from inside and outside the College with a collection of materials that focus predominantly on nursing. The library is bright and spacious, consisting of two floors. Seating is available for 48 people on the first floor, with 32 seats on the second floor. There are also five AV booths and four PCs for search purposes. The library offers special collections of our college's resources, information on Niigata prefecture and on disaster nursing. A bilateral agreement for use of the library has been made with the Joetsu University of Education Library. Any person who wishes to search for information on nursing is welcome to do so.
