A plurality of library apparatuses is placed on top of each other to comprise one library system as a whole. Each library apparatus has a plurality of cabinets, a plurality of read/write apparatuses, a slot, a controller, and a transfer mechanism having a function of transferring the recording medium according to control of the controller. The controller causes (controles) the transfer mechanism to transfer the recording medium among the cabinet, read/write apparatus, slot, and slots of library apparatuses provided adjacent to each other. The recording medium is loaded from the cabinet of an arbitrary library apparatus, transferred from the transfer mechanisms of the plurality of library apparatuses sequentially as required, and the transferred recoding medium is accessed by the read/write apparatus of an arbitrary library apparatus. The recording medium accessed by the read/write apparatus is transferred in the same way and stored in the cabinet.
