It is with sadness that I would like to inform you that after 23 years of
working at Ramaz, I have been informed that I will no longer have a job there
come September.
Anyone who want to contact me can reach me at my personal email,

I have been contacted by a scholar who is trying to locate the papers of
Professor Hartwig Hirschfeld, who taught at Jews' College in London prior to
his death in 1934. I haven't been able to locate them in any UK institution and
was wondering if by any chance they are held somewhere overseas.
I share your pain. After 24 years, the school where I worked and built up two
libraries told me the same thing. Even after two years, I feel a connection to
a school whose former building no longer exists.
As this chapter (or book, as a friend put it at the time) draws to a close, it
should be

Unfortunately, this is happening to librarians in all kinds of libraries
all over the country. Libraries are becoming other entities and librarians
are being replaced by library assistants, people with subject degrees and

Here I wish we as an organization education he schools and synagogues what a
librarian does. I think there is a misunderstanding. If we could invite the
administrators of the schools and synagogues to an AJL conference and clue them
in this might have a positive impact.
This is just my thought.
The Strategic Planning Committee is planning to send presenters to each of the
denominations conferences. They might not reach out to the day school
directors, but it will be a start.We might need to do the same in conferences

Dear Chaya,
I am truly sorry for your predicament, as I have been during my term as AJL
President about the attrition in the field of SSC librarianship. We talked
about it at length at our Strategic Planning discussions, I’ve consulted with

Unfortunately, there is not much the association or anyone can do. I also
recently lost my job after 17 years in the school. I am not being replaced;

Dear Chaya,
I echo Basya Karp's sentiment. I feel so bad that your career at Ramaz ended so
abruptly and not at the time of your choosing. But I hope it may be the
beginning of a new and interesting chapter in your life.
Love,
Joyce
