Donation From Parents of Japanese Students


At the last Friends of Harrow meeting, the library was presented with 91 new books donated by the parents of Japanese students.

The parents had raised the money for the books from a stall at the Harrow Fair. I am extremely grateful that they then selected the library as a beneficiary of their hard work - the books will add tremendously to the richness and diversity of the library collection. So, a million thanks to the parents for being so generous for providing the library and its users with access to the best possible resources.

There are a range of titles, from non-fiction texts about Japan and Japanese life, to Shakespeare and classic English literature, to modern Japanese fiction and picture books in translation. It's all wonderful stuff!

Some of the books are pictured above. The rest will be available to all students in the library in the coming weeks.
