KRANZ LEARNING CENTER TEMPLE SINAI, ATLANTA, GA Temple Sinai, a Reform congregation 1,400 families strong, is seeking a warm and creative professional to join our education department staff as our Librarian on the PNK Learning Center. The PNK Learning Center was established shortly after Temple Sinai was formed in 1968. Today it boasts a collection of over 12,000 titles, making it the largest Jewish library in Atlanta. The Learning Center is a repository for books, newspapers, periodicals, DVDs, CDs, and audio books. Films shown at the Atlanta Jewish Film Festival are purchased by the library if available, and may be checked out for home viewing. Any subject which relates to the Jewish experience is eligible for inclusion in the collection. The library contains an excellent fiction and an especially strong reference collection. Holocaust Studies, books on Modern Israel, and resources for studying classical Jewish texts are also featured. Volumes on art, music, sports, and a large collection of biographies can also be discovered in the library. A Jewish genealogical section enables members to research their family histories. Of special note is the collection relating to Jewish Law endowed by the family of Steven Eichel, a young lawyer at Sinai whose untimely death is memorialized by the ever-expanding Jewish Law Library. The Sinai library is a rich resource for research and enjoyment. The collection is available to all Sinai members and also to persons in the general community who receive special permission from the librarian. A room in the library is devoted to children's and youth literature. It is the setting for story time for preschool and religious school youngsters and, each year, the library conducts a Reading Program for religious school students. The program is designed to introduce children to the world of Jewish books and to give them a head start in Jewish literacy.
