Dear Safranim, There are many reasons to apply for or to renew accreditation for your school, synagogue, or Center library. AJL members have found that applying for accreditation:
- Encourages the librarian to review the library resources, identify the strengths and weaknesses of the collection, resources and programs, and plan for library enhancements - Raises the profile of the library in the eyes of the organization and community - Reasserts the status of the librarian as a key professional administering a state-of-the-art facility with much to contribute to the parent organization Applications can be found on the AJL website under Resources with SSCPL (Synagogue, School, Center, & Public Libraries) Focus. All applications for accreditation or for the renewal of accreditation are due *Wednesday, February 24, 2026*. Accreditation Committee members Arlene Ratzabie, Bruchie Weinstein, and I look forward to reviewing your applications. Right now, it is best to use Microsoft Edge, and we are working on making the forms available via other browsers. If you still cannot access the application forms, or if you have other questions, contact me directly: [email protected] or [email protected]. Looking forward to receiving your applications! Shaindy Kurzmann Chair, AJL Accreditation Committee
