Thanks so much to all who responded to my inquiry about allowing students to do self-checkout on an automated system. For right now, I have worked it out so I have adult volunteers helping. At some point I may select some trustworthy Middle School students to be my library aides and check out books.
I have another question. A woman in our Jewish community is thinking about writing a book about the Conversos for an age group somewhere between K - 8. She is thinking perhaps a picture book. She will probably focus on what happened to the Jews who left Spain and may concentrate on the Conversos who settled in Mexico. She had several questions: 1. Are there any books for K - 8th in this subject area? 2. Would there be an interest/market for a book on this subject for this age group? 3. Where can she get background information about the Jews/Conversos during the Inquisition, Conversos who left Spain and what happened to them? Thanks in advance for your input!
