Yamasa's new library opened in April 2000. The library is located on the ground floor of the Yamasa II building next to student services. Official opening hours are from 8:30 am to 17:30 pm on weekdays (though it is usually open until at least 8:30pm), and until 3:30 pm on Saturdays (these hours are also usually extended). The library is closed on Sundays and public holidays.

The library has large common reading areas as well as individual study stations. The individual study stations have AC power access for electronic study aids as well as individual lighting. The new library also has datajacks connecting to Yamasa's LAN - so online dictionaries and other aids can be used. There is a wide range of reading material including research volumes, novels, magazines and other books including dictionaries and learning materials. Past test-papers and level specific reading materials are available on request via your class academic advisor.

There is a large amount of information regarding Japanese universities and colleges - although the later information is increasingly provided through Yamasa's online ACCESS databases.

The photocopying facilities and the tape and videocassette collection are no longer kept in the library but are instead maintained by faculty. The audio-visual and computer based materials are used in the 4th floor AV/Computer laboratory.
