this year's committee: Dora Ho, Skip Dye, Keahiahi S. Long, Shay Ramsey-Martin

importantly for recognizing Jewish advocacy work as significant and worth 
awarding. With deep thanks to Heidi Rabinowitz, who has been my partner for so 
much of this Jewish book equity work. I am so proud of the projects and 
communities we have created. Also thank you to my colleagues at ALA and the 
Association of Jewish Libraries and to everyone in the library, bookselling and 
publishing fields who have been so supportive of Jewish books. Thank you to my 
synagogue colleagues and library patrons, who I have been working for. I am 
also honored to be recognized for my mentoring. That is truly an important part 
of my professional life and I am so proud of my mentees and what they have 
accomplished. I really feel this is a group award, for all the work we have 
done together, to expand the world of Jewish books for all Jewish and

because it's very significant that ALA is recognizing Jewish advocacy work as 
being worth celebrating. Here's the press release:

And here are Susan's own words, in which she shouts out AJL:
 
A big and unexpected moment and career high that I can't quite believe. Thank 
you to the American Library Association for selecting me as the recipient of 
this year's ALA Equality Award.

With thanks and gratitude to the members of this year's committee: Dora Ho, 
Skip Dye, Keahiahi S. Long, Shay Ramsey-Martin and Robin Sofge and to ALA. 
Thank you for recognizing me, but much more importantly for recognizing Jewish 
advocacy work as significant and worth awarding.

With deep thanks to Heidi Rabinowitz, who has been my partner for so much of 
this Jewish book equity work. I am so proud of the projects and communities we 
have created.

Also thank you to my colleagues at ALA and the Association of Jewish Libraries 
and to everyone in the library, bookselling and publishing fields who have been 
so supportive of Jewish books. Thank you to my synagogue colleagues and library 
patrons, who I have been working for.

I am also honored to be recognized for my mentoring. That is truly an important 
part of my professional life and I am so proud of my mentees and what they have 
accomplished.

I really feel this is a group award, for all the work we have done together, to 
expand the world of Jewish books for all Jewish and non-Jewish readers. We have 
done so much... and we have so much more to do.

Toda raba.
