Re: [ha-Safran]: Early Jewish children's books
Andrea has raised an interesting question that I'm facing. My library, as some of you know, was closed for the past 6 years, for a variety of reasons. We've recently moved back into a new facility, and there's a wonderful library. The new room has much more shelf space than the former one did, but not nearly enough for everything. So what I've decided to do is to stock it with the most important books, and new items I've purchased since we went into boxes. Of the rest (and there are MANY of those), I'm creating an Archive and Research center in another part of the complex. We have a substantial amount of archival material, and I'm adding to it a signuficant number of older adult books. It occurs to me that we also have a number of important older children's books that might go into the archives, rather than sit unread on the new library's shelves. It may be appropriate to save some of our historic children's titles, as well as the adult books. Has anyone else done this with their older (pre-1960, for example) children's books? What criteria do you use? For instance, are you saving all copies of multi-copy titles, or only 1 or 2?

The library is small and unorganized. The rabbi has gotten together a few members to help organize the library. They do not have any library training. Should they use Weine or Elazar?. What about subject headings? If I go with Elazar who sells the subject heading list? I did not see it in the AJL publications list. The Elazar book is not listed there either. I have a business account with Baker Taylor. My husband has a small DBA company called Seal Beach Software.
