We celebrated the final event of the BST Festival of the Arts this week, a 'Publication Celebration Tea Party' for twelve @BST_Secondary students, their parents &tutors, who, through a series of workshops @melibelletokyo have recently been published @utmmagazine @BST_Tokyo
Professor Andrew Fitzsimons visited BST to lead a thought-provoking workshop on writing in translation to our students. Our adult community also had the opportunity to attend a fascinating talk on his most recent book Basho: The Complete Haiku of Matsuo Basho @BST_Tokyo @BST_PTA
Novelist @Elif_Safak on the importance of libraries. When people are displaced, books and libraries are essential.
This is such an excellent MS book! Delighted that it's been nominated for the @sakuramedal Award 2025 Available to borrow from both campuses @BST_Tokyo

It’s Halloween dress-up @BST_Tokyo @BST_Secondary and already the library is filling with spooky characters!
