*Please be aware that space may be limited.

If you have any questions or concerns, please don’t hesitate to email us. New members are always welcome!

WHY JOIN JFT BOOK CLUB?

You can read a book by yourself, but when you read something thought-provoking or moving, it’s natural to want to discuss it with someone else. This will be an exciting opportunity to connect with other JFT Library users from different cultural backgrounds, find new and interesting books, authors, or themes, and develop a richer understanding of Japan that you wouldn’t gain from reading alone.

WHAT BOOK TO BRING?

Books to share may be any physical or electronic books by Japanese authors or about Japan in the JFT Library collection – both fiction and non-fiction. You can search whether the book is part of the JFT’s collection on our online catalogue or JF OverDrive (electronic books).
*Books must be written originally in English or translated from original Japanese to English or French*
Bring the book you currently have on loan and share what you’ve been reading!
Talk about the most memorable book you’ve read from JFT Library’s collection. If you still remember it, odds are, the book was just that good!
Be creative with getting your reading materials! Check out our Inventorial and Thematic Book Lists to get an idea for your next book.
