I am so excited to see this site finally come into fruition - a giant kol ha-kavod to the fantastic librarians who stepped up to be the first collections highlighted, and especially to Jerry Krautman, who created a gorgeous showcase highlighting the variety of collections represented by AJL libraries. I can't wait to see what's next!
