EU Ambassadors Book Collection: Words That Unite, Stories That Connect

In the context of America's 250th birthday, the EU Ambassadors Book Collection: Words That Unite, Stories That Connect, celebrates ties between Americans and Europeans and highlights Europe’s literary heritage. The EU Ambassador and the 27 EU Member State Ambassadors donated a hard copy of an English-translated book from their country that reflects its national spirit or connections to the U.S.  All 28 books will be on display. 

The initiative honors shared history while investing in a future shaped by empathy and mutual respect, and it reaffirms the European Union and the United States’ commitment to literacy, cultural exchange, and the power of stories to bring people together. Together, the volumes form a collective gift symbolizing friendship and the power of ideas to transcend borders.
