Spanish Embassy Donates to AUK Library

The American University of Kuwait held a special event on Sunday, January 17, where the Spanish Ambassador to Kuwait, his Excellency Manuel Gomez de Valenzuela, in conjunction with the Spanish Ministry of Education, kindly donated a collection of Spanish books to the AUK library. The selection ranged from geography and history books, to masterpieces of Spanish literature.

Students, faculty and staff will benefit from the books' inclusion in the growing library collection and most importantly, these texts will encourage the growing interest at AUK in the language and culture of Spain and the Spanish-speaking world.

The event was attended by AUK President, Dr. Tim Sullivan, the Dean of the College of Arts and Sciences, Dr. Nizar Hamzeh, the Director of the Library, Mrs. Amna Al Omare, the Spanish instructors Florence Gillier-Pagenaud and Teresa De Quesada as well as a number of faculty and staff of the AUK community.
