Date: Wednesday, December 17, 2025
Time: 7:00–9:00 p.m.
Place: Hifumi Room, 2nd Floor, Book House Café, Kitazawa Bldg., Jinbocho. Website: http://bookhousecafe.jp/ (in Japanese)
Directions: See website for maps. Come out from the Jinbocho subway station at exit A1, turn right, and walk about 15 meters to the Kitazawa Building. Enter through the door to the left of the main entrance of the bookstore; take the stairs or elevator to the 2nd floor.

RSVP: If you plan to attend, please drop us a line at SWET to help us know how many to expect, as space is limited. We will send you a phone number to call in case you can’t find us.

As the Book House Cafe won’t be open when we meet, you are welcome—and encouraged—to bring your own snack or drink (purchased items only, please, to assure we abide by venue rules). We’re asked to provide our own utensils and take our own trash home. 

Join us at the end of another active and eventful year and SWET’s 45th anniversary. Let’s get together for a casual meet up face to face for a change, share reports of our activities and questions that preoccupy us, show and tell about recent projects, and generally network.

Book exchange opportunity: If you are doing a year-end clean-up of your library, consider bringing with you books to pass on to others. (You’ll need to take back home any that do not find new homes.)
