Library

In September 2020, we launched a test mode of the library with an online catalog for you.

The library runs on the LibraryThing platform in the TinyCat library system, which is constantly under development. We chose this system due to the very specific needs of our library, which contains titles mainly in Japanese, Czech and English.

We believe that you will be interested in the library and that you will use it, for example, to obtain sources for university theses that you will probably not find in another library.

!Our library contains more than 3200 publications!

You can find the online catalog here:

How to borrow a book?
1. Select books in the catalog, check if they are available.
2. Write down their list (ideally also with the identifier “Call number”). You can also contact us by e-mail and we will prepare them for you to pick up.
3. Come to our office Na Můstku 8 and borrow the books.

When you make your first borrow, we will create an account in the system for you, which will display your current borrowing, including the return date. Registered members of CJA have an account created automatically within the benefits of membership.

If you are a member of CJA, the price for library is included in the membership benefit. If you are only interested in access to the library, then it is possible to pay an annual fee of CZK 50.

The library is in test operation (both on our side and on the side of the TinyCat system). Applying a general library system to our needs is not easy, so please excuse the mistakes and shortcomings.
