Thanks for sharing this here, Elliot! It was truly wonderful to see Lessa's recognition of AJL in American Libraries.
I sent Lessa an email on Monday thanking her personally for the AJL shout-out, but here on Hasafran I would like to also acknowledge the good work being done by Emily Bergman, Susan Kusel, Sally Steiglitz, Kathy Bloomfield, and so many others who are working tirelessly behind the scenes within ALA to help promote and further connections with AJL. Our members are excellent advocates for "the leading authority in Judaica Librarianship!" My best, Michelle Margolis President, AJL On Tue, Aug 30, 2022, 11:10 PM Elliot H.
