Synopsis

“Maruko stays at the library at night” volume (broadcast on July 20)
Even though the summer vacation had begun, there were no plans to go out. If you take a look, it’s a special summer vacation project… Why don’t you stay at the library at night? With that said, Maruko decided to participate with Tama-chan and her classmates. Maruko and the others are thrilled by the different states of the library, such as the silent library at night and the library that you can’t usually enter. Choose your books and read as much as you like. The fun time passed quickly, and it was time to turn off the lights. Maruko and the others are excited to be wrapped in a sleeping bag in a dark building with only a lamp. Then, a rabbit wearing a tuxedo and holding a silver watch appears…? !
