Summer is here! A fresh breeze comes off the sea, lovely flowers are in full bloom, and cool drinks and treats are popular on the dining tables. We spend as long as we can on those books that we couldn’t read when classes were on, and we have tremendous fun participating in various festivals and cultural celebrations.

This beautiful season is always filled with the most wonderful things! Find out more in this new display of books about Asian summer traditions and highlights. We offer a number of our best picks, from summer treats in Asia to plants blooming in the region, and unique festivals and their origins that will put you in the right mood. We hope you enjoy these as much as we did!

The display is located on the Asian Library upper floor and ground floor from now till September 14, 2022.
