History of Activities

The Continuing Reading Group (TDO) is engaged in a variety of activities to enhance reading and understanding, promote reading activities for children in Tsuzuki Ward   and improve the reading environment.
In cooperation with Tsuzuki Ward   Resources Reuse Promotion, with the slogan "Mottainai," we raise donations of children's books that are no longer needed at home, and distribute the collected books to elementary school class libraries and childcare facilities free of charge.
In order to promote the 3Rs, the books to be distributed are affixed with a sticker called "Reuse Continue".
We will continue to distribute reused books as a resource for children in the future.
