I am on ALA Council and I did see the original resolution. I have been looking for information, especially what to get up and say at the Council meeting when it comes up. I appreciate these documents, and if there's anything you think I should add, please send it to me ASAP. I leave for ALA Midwinter tomorrow. I'll do my best to speak for Jews and Jewish librarians on this.
