Recently, Chiune Sugihara Reading Room has finished acquiring a large collection of books donated by Professor Jørgen Nielsen form Copenhagen University. This was possible owing to Professor Egdūnas Račius who helped during the whole process of transfer. Due to this collection together with donations by Prof. E Račius, the funds of Sugihara Reading Room were increased by almost 1000 books on Middle East and Islam. Majority of books are in English but there are publications in Arab or Farsi languages as well. All the books are available for the community of VMU and other readers.
J. Nielsen’s collection together with Chiang Ching-kuo Foundation (Taiwan), Confucius Institute and Japan’s government have helped Chiune Sugihara Reading Room to improve significantly. Due to book donations even supplementary shelves were installed. Now, visitors of the reading room can choose from more than 6000 publications in English, Japanese, Chinese, Korean, Lithuanian and other languages.
