On Thursday, Aug. 26, The National Library of Israel was visited by a delegation of 12 librarians, members of the American Library Association, who came to Israel through the People to People Ambassador Programs. The delegation was lead by past ALA president, Dr. Camilia A. Alire. , The group spent a week in Israel, and visited libraries and library affiliated organizations, including the library school at Bar-Ilan, Mediateque - the library of the Israeli Design Museum in Holon, Malmad Inter-University Center for Digital Information, Sourasky Library at Tel Aviv University, ASMI - the Israel Association of Librarians and Information Professionals, Haifa University Library, Tantur Ecumenical Institute and the Yad Vashem Library. The trip was organized by Naomi Heim, who did a wonderful job making the arrangements so that the group had a successful trip with many positive experiences. We hope to welcome other groups from ALA .
