To all Bahá’ís in the United Kingdom
Dearly loved Friends,
The National Spiritual Assembly is delighted to announce the launch of a new website for Bahá’í Books UK: https://www.bahaibooks.org.uk/.
Its aim is to provide an easy-to-navigate single site – for Bahá’ís and enquirers alike – where a wide-range of resources can be accessed, including books and other published materials, eBooks, audio files, videos, and web versions of texts. The website also provides links to other publishers and distributors for publications that are not currently in stock at Bahá’í Books UK, as well as to useful online resources for enquirers.
To assist the friends in familiarising themselves with the site and everything that it has to offer, the National Assembly warmly invites you to an online launch event, which will be held on Sunday 20 June at 7pm, on Zoom. This will provide an opportunity to be guided around the site and how to use it, accessing literature in English, Persian and Arabic, ordering training institute materials, as well as reflecting upon the importance of sharing the Word of God.

The National Assembly wishes to express its deep gratitude to those devoted believers who have so tirelessly served Bahá’í Books UK, and the Bahá’í Publishing Trust before it, for many years, as well as the friends whose technical skill and dedication over the past year have brought this site to completion. It is through all of their efforts that such a firm foundation – upon which this next stage in the provision of Bahá’í literature to the people of the United Kingdom – has been built.
With loving Bahá’í greetings,
Patrick O’Mara,
Secretary
