Your Weekly AJL Conference Update Stay informed! by Jackie Ben-Efraim and Lisa Silverman: Week #6 [https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/u_A74Vg8nYBWLFs307LOugGPT43JFfg3vidSJxASgDYACCtUiDm_2FP6xEC-QRMU2r1nIXtvnqrybYcN3i8zrpL1FoVchxtXKRtslKJ-KX7aMKGP_XAp_GG2Vff5BqlGit053eti] People have been asking us about the optional after-conference tours. Here are some FAQ's: 1. What is the timing of the tours? The tour busses will leave from AJU (after the final lunch) at 2:30 on Wednesday, June 19th. They will return to AJU by 5:30. 2. What are my tour choices? You will need to choose which of the three tours you will want to sign up for: The Getty Museum and Library Archives (4 miles distance), The Skirball Museum and Noah's Ark (½ mile) or UCLA Library and Archives (6 miles). 3. Am I assured of getting the tour I want? All tours have a limited amount of people they can take, and it is on a first-come basis. You will have to indicate first and second choices. 4. What will I see on each tour? At the Getty: Kathleen Salomon, Chief Librarian of the Getty Research Institute, will lead us in a behind-the scenes tour of the library, including special collections from the vault. In addition Elizabeth Morrison, Senior Curator of Manuscripts, will show us the newly acquired illuminated 13th century Rothchild Pentateuch. At the Skirball: We will tour Skirball's Library and Archive and the core museum collection, then view the Noah's Ark Experience: an award-winning children's and family destination. (Explore a floor-to-ceiling wooden ark, filled to the rafters with whimsical animals created from recycled materials.) At UCLA: We will be led on a tour of UCLA's Special Collections at the Charles E. Young Research Library. This collection holds a number of Judaica and Hebraica treasures. Then take time on your own to walk over to the iconic Powell Library, one of the first two buildings constructed in the Italian Romanesque style at UCLA's Westwood Campus. 5. Is there an extra charge for these tours? No, the tours and all admissions are included in your full registration. 6. What if I want to leave from the tour and not go back to AJU? You can leave from anywhere, but you will need to make sure to bring your luggage is on the bus with you. The bus will be waiting in a public location nearby until 5 pm, when you board it to return to AJU. You can get your bag from the bus at any time. Otherwise, your luggage will be stored at AJU and you can get it when you return. 7. If I am leaving from LAX on Thursday morning, how do I get the special hotel rate for the airport hotel? The LAX Hilton has provided us a special rate for Wednesday night of $142.00, with airport shuttle provided. You can access the rate on the AJL website. Limited rooms available. 8. How do I register for the tours? After April 15th, everyone who has registered for the conference will receive a link by email that will enable you to choose which tour you want.
