The Association of Jewish Libraries Announces
the 2022 Fanny Goldstein Merit Award Winner
The Association of Jewish Libraries (AJL) is proud to announce that longtime
member Lisa Silverman has been named the 2022 Fanny Goldstein Merit Award
Winner. The award, named for the librarian, social activist, and founder of
National Jewish Book Month, is bestowed in recognition of loyal and ongoing
contributions to the Association of Jewish Libraries and to the profession of
Judaica librarianship.
Lisa Silverman began her career as a day school librarian at the Sinai Akiba
Academy in Los Angeles and Adat Ari El Day School in Valley Village,
California. She spent 15 years as the library director at Sinai Temple in Los
Angeles, providing library services and educational programming for the day
school, religious school, and synagogue community including teaching adult
education classes, facilitating book groups, and hosting author events, family
programs, and film discussions. In 2015, Lisa became the library director of
the Burton Sperber Jewish Community Library at the American Jewish University
in Los Angeles where she designed the new space, built the collection, and
provided extensive programming. She also developed and launched a new online
digital Jewish Community Library Consortium of California in partnership with
the Jewish Community Library of San Francisco.
Lisa’s involvement with the Association of Jewish Libraries began when she
attended her first conference in Los Angeles in 1992, and she has made
countless contributions to the organization and the profession over the past 30
years. She was the president and vice president of the then Synagogue, Schools
& Center Division and served as chair of the Bibliography Bank and on its
nominating committee. Lisa served as the national conference chairperson for
three years, co-chaired the 2019 conference in Woodland Hills, and was
instrumental in the planning of the two online conferences in 2020 and 2021.
Lisa has also been a leader in the Southern California Chapter of AJL where she
was honored with the Dorothy Schroder Achievement Award in 2009 and co-founded
the AJL Western Regional Children’s Literature Conference. AJL President
Kathleen Bloomfield remarked, "I am so happy that Lisa SIlverman is this year's
Fanny Goldstein winner. Lisa was a huge help to me when I established
ForWordsBooks, my Jewish book fair business, back in 1990. She has been an
ongoing supporter of my work with AJL, including providing guidance as I moved
into leadership positions within the organization. I am honored to have her as
a colleague, and most of all as a friend."
Known nationally and internationally as an expert on Jewish children’s
literature, Lisa was recently the co-editor of children and teen book reviews
for AJL Reviews and served as the children’s editor for Jewish Book World
magazine for six years. She was the children’s book reviewer for the Jewish
Journal of Los Angeles for many years and has published numerous reviews in
other magazines such as School Library Journal, Catholic Library World, and
Five Owls. She has served as a judge for the National Jewish Book Awards for
fifteen years and also served as a judge for the Museum of Tolerance Once Upon
A World Children’s Book Award. In addition to numerous presentations at AJL
conferences, Lisa has presented on Jewish literature at a variety of
conferences and settings, including the Charlotte Huck Children’s Literature
Conference, California School Library Association, the Mazza Museum of
Children’s Literature, the United States Board on Books for Young People, the
International Board on Books for Young People Conference in Copenhagen,
Denmark, and the International Association of Children’s Literature Conference
in Frankfort, Germany, among others.
Rachel Kamin, award committee chair, commented, “On behalf of the Fanny
Goldstein Merit Award committee, we are proud to have the opportunity to honor
Lisa Silverman as this year’s recipient of the Award. Lisa has contributed so
much to the Association of Jewish Libraries, to the field of Judaica
librarianship, and to librarianship as a profession overall. She has been a
mentor to so many and gives of her time generously. Lisa truly personifies the
values and legacy of the Award’s namesake, Fanny Goldstein, who devoted her
life to books and her community.” Lisa will receive her award during a special
luncheon at the Annual Conference of the Association of Jewish Libraries on
Tuesday, June 28, 2022, at the Weitzman National Museum of American Jewish
History in Philadelphia.
Members of the 2022 Fanny Goldstein Merit Award committee are Rachel Kamin,
Toby Harris, and Joy Kingsolver.
