Jewish children's books, like all children's literature, present a historical mirror of childhood. Children are indelibly molded by the tales they read and hear. These are also the stories that one day they will share with their own offspring. Jewish libraries should collect and preserve old children books. As time goes by, they as they become source material for literary and historical research. Please don't discard your old children's books. If you have no space for them, You can offer them to Jewish academic research libraries. Aviva Astrinsky YIVO
