A survey targeting Japanese university students and their associates, asking them to write short narratives about three "memories" related to libraries was conducted. 198 "memories" from 67 contributors were collected and analyzed the types of libraries, the ages of contributors and the content of the "memories," and their interrelationships. The results indicated the presence of recurring patterns related to the types of libraries, ages, and content in the "memories," such as "spatial impressions of public libraries from childhood," or "personal interactions with librarians at school libraries."
