Safranim --
I'm debating whether to go to this 2-day gathering.
It will be August 26-28 at the American Jewish Archives, on the HUC Campus.
Who else is attending?

We will be celebrating the centennial of our sanctuary over the next couple of
years. I've been asked to work on creating a video as part of the series of
events. I've started talking to people, including a video pro who is a
congregant, about it.
A couple of questions:

I saw the exhibit last Friday. It'ssmall but spectacular. Yashar Koach to
Michelle for putting it together.
In addition, I've realized over the intervening days that it points to numerous
places that might house Hebrew treasures that no one knows about. There must be

All of us who have ever been on the Committee know how much fun it is, and
appreciate the work the current committee puts in every year.
As always, I'm looking forward to reading the winners.

Thanks to Barbara Leff, Stephanie, and everyone else who has commented on this
important topic. I'd add Nick Harkaway's book The Gutenberg Elegies, written
first in the 90s and revised in about 2006.
In our 3000-title library -- and I suspect in many of yours -- we're dealing

My colleague (Renee Kardener) and I have been puzzling where to place Saying
No and Letting Go by Rabbi Ed Goldberg.
We use Elazar, but I think the issue of where to put Judaica self-help books
may be a more general issue.
Any thoughts, Safranim?
I'd also be interested in hearing a

I'm thrilled that both Andrea Jim have indicated their libraries' interest in
collecting children's books.
However, I would make a request on their part (unbidden): Please provide lists
first, and get their permission before sending books to them.
I do this with some awareness.

Sorry. I was away for a while and didn't send this before I left. I think the
question is still worth a comment. My apologies for the delay.
As a reviewer of both children's and adult books, I plead guilty to the charge
leveled in the criticism of Kathryn Lasky's latest book.

You're right about his intent. He mentioned it at his acceptance speech at the
Conference in Phoenix.
It was the first STA Teen Book Awardee, so was not intended for a younger
audience. Most of the Older Readers STA-winning books have been for Older
Children, which I always took to

Like others, I'm flying blind here. But I have a few thoughts as well:
Is the book about Hanukkah? If so, it may be worth considering putting
it with the other books on the holiday cycle (Zion's A Different Light, etc.)
Is it an inter-religious book about the various ways to

At the AJL Conference in Las Vegas this past June we heard a Plenary talk about
the Jewish Digital Commons. At a following session a number of us discussed
putting it in place for ourselves, and connecting our own collections and

We're constantly in add-and-subtract mode, as we should be. Our library is
about 2500 volumes. We just did a review of all adult books published before
1980. We decided to keep almost all of them, but it's never automatic for me.
It's certainly one way to quickly review and get rid
Every January, when we get the new list of winners and Honor books, I run out
and buy most of them.
This year, I wonder if we can shift the process a bit.
Is it possible -- Diane and other Committee members -- for you to give us an
early taste of the best things you've seen? This can help
