September 25, 2025 @6:30 PM – 8:00 PM (ET)
In Japan, autumn is considered “the season for appetite” (食欲の秋) and “the season for reading” (読書の秋) as it is a time of rich harvest and the cooler comfortable weather makes it an ideal climate for getting lost in a book. This September, let’s celebrate both with an evening of books, food, and cultural exchange with the JFT Library!
