Free Japanese Books!

JASV decided to give/donate all the books to individuals who are interested in those books in front of the rented Self-Storage in Shelburne, on Oct 4, Oct 11, and Oct 18 from 1:00pm -- 4:00 pm

JASV created a wonderful Library at our office for the people who
were interested in Japanese Culture and Language plus for those who miss Japan since living in the US for many years while our office was located in Saint Michael's College (SMC). Unfortunately we couldn't find a place for the library after we moved out from SMC and all the books were now sleeping in a rented Self-Storage.

Oct 4, Oct 11 and Oct 18 from 1:00pm to 4:00 pm

Address: Shelburne Village Self-Storage,
3933 Shelburne Road, Shelburne, VT 05482

** These are books written in Japanese **
