Asian University and North Star Library

As part of Asian University’s community involvement project, a short course in practical English was recently negotiated with North Star Library, located on Sukhumvit Road, near the Redemptorist Centre .


Ajarn Roy Copeland, from the Faculty of Liberal Arts, conducted two-hour classes on January 28, February 4, 11, 18, 25, and March 4 at the Library. Ms. Wan, the assistant librarian, advertised and organized the course and 10 – 12 people attended each session.


Participants came from a variety of workplaces including hotel, laundry, home parent, restaurant, kitchen, sales and driver. All who attended reported that they really enjoyed the classes and learnt a lot from the experience .


At the end of the course Ms. Wan and Roy presented each participant with a certificate on behalf of the North Star Library and A. Roy, was also presented with gifts of appreciation by the participants and the Library.


Part of the Father Ray Foundation, North Star Library is open seven days a week to everyone and contains a well organized collection of books, mainly in English as well as internet connection.
