Perhaps you could contact your nearest Israeli consulate and ask for suggestions.

Message-ID: <803027190.1053000.1625249027...@mail.yahoo.com> Content-Type: text/plain; charset="utf-8" Hi all,? ? ?My synagogue library is doing a major overhaul this summer and I'm getting rid of all of our Hebrew books for adults and most of the children's Hebrew books.? We have very few Israelis in our communities, and our Religious School students' level of Hebrew proficiency is not adequate for most of the books we have, plus we have plenty of teaching materials at their level.? ? ?Taking any and all suggestions on what to do with them, especially the adult books.? There's fiction, political science, history, cookbooks, etc. though probably none of it was published after, say 2000-2010 and most is older than that.? Some are possibly classics, like a volume of poems by Pushkin.? My Hebrew is good enough for the titles, authors and a gist of what the book is about, but not good enough to actually read them.? ? ?I'd prefer not to have to toss them unless absolutely necessary and I'm hoping I can find them a good home, but I will bite the bullet and toss them if I need to.? I have 6 BIG boxes of them (probably 200-300 books total) and we just can't store them any longer.? I've already put in calls to the major universities with Judaic studies programs in my area and their Hillels, and the regional Jewish Historical Society but haven't heard back yet.? ? ?Thanks much!? Private replies welcome unless you think they'd be of interest to the group.?? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?Judy Petersen? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?Library Director? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?Congregation Har Shalom? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?Fort Collins, CO
