| 内容記述 | This paper examines the potential role of public libraries as a “third place” for children by analyzing the characteristics of those who use libraries after school. The study utilizes data from the “Childrenʼs Living Conditions Survey” conducted by municipalities in Tokyo, focusing on factors such as parental education, employment status, and the proximity of libraries to understand how these variables influence childrenʼs library use. Approximately 20% of elementary school students use public libraries after school, a proportion similar to that of children who use childrenʼs centers. Among children living within walking distance of a library, one in four frequently visits the library after school, indicating that easy access significantly contributes to higher usage rates. Parental socioeconomic status, particularly the education level and employment status of the mother, has a significant impact on library use. Children from households where the mother is highly educated, works part-time, or is a homemaker tend to use libraries more frequently. This finding contrasts with OECD data, which suggests that in many countries, children of parents with lower levels of education are more likely to visit libraries. The discrepancy highlights the unique social dynamics in Japan. Proximity to libraries plays a crucial role in promoting their use, especially for low-income families. While there is no significant difference between low- and high-income children those from low-income households who live within walking distance of a library are more likely to use it. Furthermore, children from immigrant families are also found to use libraries more when they are easily accessible. The study also explored the relationship between material deprivation, social connections, and library use. Contrary to expectations, lacking resources such as access to the internet or a space to do homework did not strongly correlate with higher library use. However, children experiencing social isolation or loneliness-such as those who eat dinner alone or have been bullied-are more likely to use libraries, suggesting that these spaces offer emotional comfort and a sense of belonging. These findings underscore the potential of public libraries to serve as more than just places for reading or studying. Libraries provide a safe, welcoming environment for children who may be facing social or economic challenges, especially those experiencing loneliness or isolation. Libraries offer discreet support, with staff available to assist or guide children without intruding on their privacy, making them ideal spaces for children who seek a quiet, non-intrusive environment. To enhance their role in addressing child poverty, improving access to libraries, particularly in rural areas where library availability is limited, is essential. By expanding library hours and improving accessibility, libraries could play a crucial role in enhancing childrenʼs overall well-being． | |||||||
