Dear Safranim, The AJL Midwinter meetings of Board and Council will be here before we know it! I just sent an email to Board and Council about the meetings. Please let me know if you did not receive it! We have many new ideas for AJL and look forward to talking about them at Midwinter and pushing these programs ahead.
We are still looking for people to help with our National Conventions. If you want a really exciting and challenging way to get involved in our organization and give your library some national visibility, then contact Fred Isaac or Shoshanah Seidman, our National Convention Chairs , about ways you can help. We especially need someone who is good at email contacts and wants to help contact our exhibitors. We also need people interested in helping to organize our 2010 convention in Seattle. We have a dedicated group of people there who are starting to make plans and they would love to work with you! We also need people interested in mentoring librarians who need some guidance in Judaic librarianship. If you would like to be mentor, contact Stephanie Gross, Mentoring Committee Chair. Thanks to our wonderful PR Committee who has just made available some of the podcasts of sessions at the 2008 Convention. Check back for more throughout the year. Heidi Estrin and Andrea Rapp have also made available an extremely valuable bibliography of books for Israel's 60th birthday. Look for publicity on it and please share it with other libraries and schools during Jewish Book Month. Please check our AJL blog for news and ramblings. I try to post every week or so. I would love to hear from YOU! Let me now the news in your library. Share a story, a resource, or just good news. Looking forward to hearing form you!
