At its first stage, large public libraries organized readers' advisory service as the embodiment of library adult education. With the establishment of this service, public library intended to play an important role in adult self-education. On its own responsibility, library provided consulting and advisory service, supplemented by suitable books, to adults who wish to study alone rather than organized groups or classes.

Under the name of requisition the power politics driving the war brought a considerable part of the book collection to the libraries of Japanese colonial China.
Two examples: The East China Railway Company (ECRC) belonged to Manchukuo in 1935, and the Central Library of ECRC with its collection came under the official management of the Harbin Library. The Manchukuo Mukden Library soon became a huge library after acquiring not only the collection of the Mukden Palace Museum and the libraries of several colleges, but also the old house of Zhang Xue-liang and even the Palace Museum itself. We also know that the librarians of the Mantetsu (SMRC) Library were committed to the Board established in 1936 for taking care of the books won in other areas, such as Shanghai and Nanjing, occupied during the war.
The history of the accumulation of books will give us a unique view of the libraries in Japanese colonies during World War II.
