am so happy for my friend Susan Kusel, who has won the ALA Equality Award!
Here's the press release, and I also want to share what she wrote on Facebook,
because it's very significant that ALA is recognizing Jewish advocacy work as
being worth celebrating. Here's the press release:
https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://www.ala.org/news/member-news/2023/05/susan-kusel-named-winner-2023-ala-equality-award__;!!KGKeukY!zF127-u6JIEFzARQ_qjVm5Kncth5uVuzFZofh-3ltb3YGp13tlmqRQeA4FxO2hUxTJxf3noO6DdhTJs1uwWLtkBeFM86r9c7rA$
And here are Susan's own words, in which she shouts out AJL:
A big and unexpected moment and career high that I can't quite believe. Thank
you to the American Library Association for selecting me as the recipient of
this year's ALA Equality Award. With thanks and gratitude to the members of
this year's committee: Dora Ho, Skip Dye, Keahiahi S. Long, Shay Ramsey-Martin
and Robin Sofge and to ALA. Thank you for recognizing me, but much more
importantly for recognizing Jewish advocacy work as significant and worth
awarding. With deep thanks to Heidi Rabinowitz, who has been my partner for so
much of this Jewish book equity work. I am so proud of the projects and
communities we have created. Also thank you to my colleagues at ALA and the
Association of Jewish Libraries and to everyone in the library, bookselling and
publishing fields who have been so supportive of Jewish books. Thank you to my
synagogue colleagues and library patrons, who I have been working for. I am
also honored to be recognized for my mentoring. That is truly an important part
of my professional life and I am so proud of my mentees and what they have
accomplished. I really feel this is a group award, for all the work we have
done together, to expand the world of Jewish books for all Jewish and
non-Jewish readers. We have done so much... and we have so much more to do.Toda
raba.
