The Tokorozawa library books that go back to the konbini

Same novel, same library card. If you collect it at the 7-Eleven by Higashi-Tokorozawa Station, you can take it back to that shop in the bag it came in. Both trips can fit on the way home from work, even after the library closes. Pick it up at a library counter and it goes back to a city library counter or one of the library’s drop boxes. The old FamilyMart by Tokorozawa Station had its own blue return box next to the freezer. That shop closed years ago. The yellow strip on the box gives away what made it different: leave the book in its library bag.
