Dear Friend,
Ever since the later part of the 19th century, China has been importing books from advanced Western nations. Unfortunately after 1949, for a long period of time, domestic and international adversities often interrupted the steady flow of this process. Today university libraries in China still lack many quality books. We strongly believe that, by strengthening library collections of universities, we will help modernization of China, which in turn will promote peace and prosperity of the world.
We have established a Books-for-China Fund to collect books from private collections of scholars, retired professors, libraries, and publishing houses, and send books to university libraries in China. We accept all books at college or above levels and professional journals of high quality, regardless of their subjects, languages, and dates of publication.
Since the founding of this project in 2005, we have already sent fourteen containers of books to China. Several mass media in China have publicized this project. As the project is becoming better known, more universities are asking us for books. We must continue and expand our collecting effort.
If you live closer to the East Coast and have books to donate, please contact John T. Ma (Tel. 718-886-4687, E-mail: johntajenma@att.net) and then send the books to
