Re: [ha-Safran] Jewish books

[Daniel Stuhlman]

You need to hire an expert librarian.  Collection development is one of expertises of a librarian.  Having is list of books is a great starting point, but the process of purchasing the best books for your collection and making sure they are cataloged and available is a job for an expert.  Anyone can go into a book store and purchase books, but it takes a librarian to buy the correct books and build a collection.

See my article "Librarians and their expertise"  http://home.earthlink.net/~ddstuhlman/crc92.htm

Dear Mr. Galron:  I am on the library committee for my synagogue (conservative) and am charged with creating a children and youth collection.   Your site was recommended to me and I hope that you can offer me some guidance.

Are there any Jewish children or teen classics we should have?  Are there any particular authors we should look at?  What are modern families interested in?

Thank you for any time and effort you can offer to get me started, Charna
