OAA Issues Appeal for Books

If you've seen our OAA, Inc. Library recently, you'll see that a lot of volunteer hours have been put in to get it organized and ready for use. Thanks to Istumi Jacomo, all the books we have in Japanese are listed, though not yet categorized, and are ready for checking out. According to Jane Kuniyoshi, Library Chairperson, "Although we have an abundance of Japanese books, our number of English books are very meager. Since the Board has agreed to expand our library space, we will need many, many more English books, related to Okinawa or Japan of any subject. Also, we need bookshelves".

If you or anyone you know have books (English mostly, although we're accepting any kind of books related to Okinawa/Japan), and would like to donate them to our library, it would be greatly appreciated. The OAA, Inc. Board will also consider purchasing some currently published books about Okinawa that will be of interest to our membership. If there are any requests for any book(s) in particular you'd like to see in our library, please let Jane know. She's at the OAA Center every Tuesday. If you'd like to volunteer working in the library, you may call Yoko or Jane at (310) 532-1929.

A special THANK YOU to Joy Afuso for donating bookshelves and filing cabinets.
