Dear Friends: 

Three positions on the Sydney Taylor Book Award Committee will be available 
beginning January 1, 2014.

Applicants should be members of AJL, familiar with the scope of Judaic 
children’s literature, experienced in writing critical reviews, willing and 
able to read and review over 120 books during the course of a year, and able to 
meet deadlines. 

Committee members are expected to attend annual conventions and to participate 
in committee-sponsored events, including speaking at the Committee’s annual 
presentation. The term of membership on the Committee is four years.  Each 
committee member typically receives more than $1,500 in books for review each 
year, which may be kept for personal use or added to the member’s library. 

Membership on the Sydney Taylor Book Award Committee is both fun and 
intellectually challenging, but it also requires a substantial commitment in 
terms of time and energy.

Members must be able to submit reviews electronically and correspond with other 
committee members through regular e-mail.  Familiarity with Google Docs is 
helpful but not required. 

To apply, send a letter indicating the reasons for your interest, a resume, and 
several examples of your recent reviews of Jewish children’s books to Aimee 
Lurie, Committee Chair, at ch...@sydneytaylorbookaward.org or 
aimeelu...@mac.com. 

Applications will be accepted through November 30, 2013.  

Aimee Lurie, Chair
Sydney Taylor Book Award Committee
The Association of Jewish Libraries
The Agnon School
26500 Shaker Blvd.
