With an extensive collection of books about China and Chinese language in the Institute library, our teachers have selected a number of books to make up a `Recommended Reading List` for members.
The subjects covered vary widely including Chinese history, geography, arts and culture, language learning, crafts, business tips, songs, and tourist information.
The 32 books selected by our staff can be found easily in the library by checking the shelves for those books which have a green star and an orange dot on the spine. Click here to see or download the recommended reading list. This list is also on the first floor notice board.
In addition the library has a special collection of English language books `The Scotland/China Collection` which have been donated personally by Graham Thompson and other friends of the Institute. Covering a range of topics from early diplomats, merchants, missionaries and travellers this collection shows that Scotland`s links with China stretch back over two centuries yet still have resonance today.
