The book Tree Project
The Book Tree Returns to Shiba Park Hotel:
A Social Contribution through Books, Supporting Education.
From the end of 2024 to the beginning of 2025, Shiba Park Hotel will be displaying a "Book Tree" made from books donated by guests and employees. After the display, these books will be sold, and the proceeds will be donated to Room to Read Japan, a certified NPO. Room to Read Japan works to provide books and expand educational opportunities for children in low-income areas around the world.
The Book Tree can be seen at the Library Lounge of Shiba Park Hotel. This is a project to create a Book Tree (Christmas tree) by collecting books that you no longer read. Hotel staff will create a Book Tree (Christmas tree) from the books you bring or send to us, and will be on displayed in the Library Lounge until New Year’s. After New Year’s, the books will be donated with the cooperation of Room to Read Japan. Our library hotel is a space surrounded by books, providing an environment where book lovers can relax and unwind. For these book lovers, the hotel have prepared a participatory project that allows you to contribute to society through books.
