Asian Tea plus Reading
We welcome you to share some tea from around Asia while also reading (anything you wish) along with your host. The comfortable Union Pacific Room is reserved for this series of events. Just bring a book or two and join us for tea. It's simple and possibly more relaxing than the library. You can come and go anytime during the event. The last ten minutes will be open for sharing thoughts voluntarily based on your readings.
Your host from the Asian World Center, Dr. Maorong Jiang, asks only one thing from you: Read quietly...and enjoy the tea. The events are free and open to the public. (Click here for details)
