The International Library of Children's Literature (国際子ども図書館, Kokusai Kodomo Toshokan) is a branch of the National Diet Library in Japan, which provides library services specializing in children's books. It was established in 2000 as Japan's first national library specializing in children's books.
It is the center and international hub of children's books-related library services in Japan, including the collection, preservation and provision of children's books and literature related to children's books inside and outside Japan. The facility is located in Ueno Park, Taito-ku, Tokyo, and uses the former Imperial Library building built in 1906.
