Regarding old children's books, there is a need for a historical
collection of Jewish children's books but where is it or where should it
be? Who knew that Rachel Leket-Mor's library had one until she wrote?
And where would one send those old books instead of throwing them away,
as June Cummins
Thanks, June, for clarifying this point.
As I said, I would be more than happy to receive any donation of old
children's books. I would add them to our growing collection set off
thanks to the Zipperstein Collection donated to Arizona State University
