Friends, a number of you on the list have expressed the desire to provide our Shavzin-Carsch Children's Collection with old children's books that we lack and that you may have, but no longer need or desire, in your own collections. After going through the Jewish Book Annual bibliographies of the 1940's and 1950's, I have the following list of books that are missing from our collection. If you have any of these, and are holding off weeding them but would like to put them in an appropriate special collection, please let me know. Here is the "A-List"-in no particular order:
