Kresge Library > Library Information > Departments > Archives > East Asia Reading Room

The Woodcock East Asia Reading Room on the 4th floor of the Kresge Library (KL 429) is a focal point for American faculty and students who are studying about China, as well as for Chinese students and visiting scholars studying here at Oakland University.

The Reading Room is named to recognize Leonard Woodcock and honor the contributions of this visionary public servant who served not only the local and national but also the international community. Mr. Woodcock served as the first United States Ambassador to the People’s Republic of China.   The purpose of the Reading Room is multifold. It provides a pleasant place for American and Asian faculty and students and others to meet, study and exchange ideas

Since its inception, Oakland University has maintained a long-term commitment to Chinese Studies. The establishment of the Woodcock East Asia Reading Room reinforces that commitment by strengthening the ties among faculty, students, alumni, businesses from the surrounding area, local and county governments and other interested parties.

We invite you to browse our open stacks to learn more about China and enjoy the collection of Oriental art that is displayed on the fourth floor.
