  • East Asia Library Lunar New Year Celebration on Feb. 14 Valentines Day was a great success. We express our special thanks to the wonderful dancers from the local Korean and Chinese communities for their beautiful ethnic dances and to our library staff member for his excellent performance of Japanese Kendo.  We also thank Seattle Public Library for their collaboration and all the students, staff, and faculty members who joined us in celebrating the Lunar New Year of the Snake!
