The Garland County Library has been the recipient of the Nippon Foundation's "100 Books for Understanding Contemporary Japan" donation program.
The library has requested approximately fifty titles from the list, with more to come. These books will give us a better understanding of modern-day Japanese culture through literature. The "100 Books" were selected by ten experts with extensive knowledge of Japan who believe they will give a basic introduction to the culture.
The Nippon Foundation has ensured that this program will evolve and their list will continue to expand.
