Dear AJL Community, I am delighted to share that Rena Citrin is the 2016 recipient of the Groner-Wikler Scholarship. The Groner-Wikler Scholarship of $1500 for conference attendance is given annually to a member of AJL who demonstrates dedication to Jewish children’s literature or library services.
Rena has been a teacher librarian at Bernard Zell Anshe Emet Day School in Chicago, IL since 1998. Bernard Zell Anshe Emet Day School is an independent Jewish Day School with 540 students. Rena oversees the Library Media Center with 19,0000 holdings in secular, Judaic and Hebrew Language resources. Along with a full time intern, Rena teaches 32 classes each week and collaborates with all teachers in the school. She runs two book fairs, a book swap, and organizes author visits. Rena has been an active member of the Chicago chapter since at least 2000 and has served as both secretary and vice-president. She reviews children's books for the AJL newsletter. She also presents regularly at the Lake Michigan Area Independent Schools librarian meetings. This will be Rena's first convention outside of Chicago! Please join me in congratulating Rena Citron.
