Kyoto University Library Network

Typhoon No.10 is approaching, so we will inform you again.
About up-to-date information on the opening hours and closure of Main Library, please access to @kumainlib.

The policy on the opening hours and closure of Main Library in the case of a typhoon.

If a typhoon is coming, we decide whether the library is closed or not based on the following policy.

• We judge it from the information published by the Meteorological Agency (Kyoto Local Meteorological Office).
• The information that we use covers the area that includes City of Kyoto.

■ When we close the library

1. During the opening hours

If the area is included in a strong wind area and an emergency warning or a storm warning is likely to be issued in the next three hours, we will close the library in one or two hours.

2. Before the opening hours (weekdays)

If an emergency warning or a storm warning has been issued before 6:30, we will NOT open the library.

3. Before the opening hours (weekends and holidays)

If an emergency warning or a storm warning has been issued before 7:30, we will NOT open the library.

■ When we open the library

1. Weekdays

We will open the library one and half hours after the emergency warning or the storm warning is cancelled.
(If we can’t come to the library, we will open it after we have come and finished preparation for opening hours.)

Notice: If it is after 5pm, we will not open.

2. Weekends and holidays

We will open the library one and half hours after the emergency warning or the storm warning is cancelled.
(If we can’t come to the library, we will open it after we have come and finished preparation for opening hours.)

Notice: If it is after 2pm, we will not open.
