Overview
A truck carrying approximately 2,800 books travels around Matsuyama City. It is a “mobile library” with over 40 years of history. It crosses the sea by ferry from the sparsely populated mountainous areas to the island, delivering books to the people. While mobile libraries have become rare nationwide, for some reason, the number of users in Matsuyama is increasing. A couple who started visiting after retirement to find a hobby. Elderly people who come because they “want to keep learning.” Who borrows what books? We follow the mobile library closely to explore the drama surrounding books.
