Advisory Committee Library (AC Library)
The Advisory Committee was established in May 1996 as an organization to support APU.
Its members include heads of state, ambassadors from around the world, and leading figures from Japan’s business community, and they provide support in various ways.
The committee consists of approximately 300 members, including Honorary Members, International Members, Ambassador Members, Coordinators, Chief Coordinators, and Committee Members.
Books and publications donated by members of Advisory Committee are available for use in a corner of the APU Library, designated as the "Advisory Committee Library”. It was established with the hope that students studying at APU will learn greatly from these collections and become individuals who can thrive on the world stage.
