Dear friends, Below is a letter that you can copy, print, and give to the director of your institution encouraging their support. I will also be mailing this to all institutions. Sincerely, Susan Dubin AJL President
Dear Director, We are delighted to inform you that your librarian has been invited to attend the annual convention of the Association of Jewish Libraries, Inc. (AJL). As you know, the AJL is an international organization with over 1,000 members devoted to the educational, informational and networking needs of those responsible for collections of Judaica. The annual Convention, the venue for much of this networking and information exchange, is its most important event, the first in the Pacific Northwest. The 45th annual convention of the Association of Jewish Libraries will take place at the Seattle Fairmont Hotel, Seattle, Washington, from Sunday, July 4 through Wednesday, July 7, 2010. Through its annual conventions, AJL offers a variety of professionally prepared and presented programs on a wide range of subjects relevant for all types of Judaic librarians. Once again, AJL has created a set of sessions to meet the specific needs of librarians and volunteers, both professionally trained and untrained. This exceptional opportunity will enable your librarian to enhance the value of your library by sharing all the new information gained by participating in this event. If your librarian is not a member of AJL, we recommend that s/he join via the application form found on the AJL website at www.jewishlibraries.org . If your librarian chooses not to join AJL, s/he may still attend the conference, but must pay the higher, non-member rate. Please support your librarian's attendance at this most important event. The library is a key center of learning in your institution, and your librarian's participation in conferences such as this ensures that your institution will continue to receive the highest value from your librarian's increased knowledge. You will find a registration form, information about travel and food, as well as a full Convention program on the AJL website at www.jewishlibraries.org . I am happy to answer any additional questions regarding participation in this year's Convention. You can email me atpresid...@jewishlibraries.org or reach me by phone at 818-606-0793. We hope your institution will take advantage of this opportunity, and we look forward to seeing your librarian at the Convention.
