Libraries were established in succession all over the country in the last years of the Meiji Era. In Shiga prefecture they also opened many public or private based libraries, which became the foundation of activity and management of the modern library. Otsu Public Library was one of them. Even it was established in good economic and social conditions, it closed after less than 40 years. This contribution tries to follow and study its history from establishment to closure, especially focus on the child reference services of library management. And moreover, there are many discussions about the relevance of the library as the center of social education or culture for children. The new role of the library is expected not only to encompass reading and children, but also to occupy a secure place in the community outside school and home. The contribution also examines the possibilities by following the history of the library since Meiji Era.
