[ha-Safran] Closing business SALE

2014-12-03 Thread SeferSoGood
 
I’m continuing to work on closing my  business, hopefully by December 31, 
but I still have a large inventory to  sell.  Please contact me if you are  
looking for titles for any age or subject/genre other than those listed 
below,  but I'll let you know in this next month, topic by topic, what I still 
have in  stock.  Take advantage of this youth  fiction SALE – they are priced 
for  quick sale: TAKE 50% OFF YOUR  TOTAL!  Shipping will be free if you  
purchase $100 or more, and will be very reasonable for smaller orders.  Email 
or call with your order and I’ll  calculate the shipping.   Quantities are 
limited and only in-stock  books will be sold – no backorders – so don’t 
wait.  I hope everyone had a happy Thanksgiving,  and I wish you a happy 
Hanukkah and a happy, healthy new year.  If you missed my high holiday sale  
sheet, please contact me and I’ll send it immediately.  Thank you.

[ha-Safran] Wash. Post

2014-12-03 Thread Silverburg, Sanford R
Does anyone on the list 1) have access to a hard copy of the November 29, 2014 
(shabat) issue of the Washington Post, and particularly the Life Style section, 
and 2) can scan a portion of one of the pages to me? I have checked with all 
the nearby libraries to no avail, or that was the one issue missing.  TIA.

[ha-Safran] Shelving of Children's Materials - Thank you!

2014-12-03 Thread Sally Cutler
Thanks to all who responded to my post about shelving children's 
materials. Your input is most helpful.


About the issue of not having a professional librarian...

Of course we know we need a professional. Hiring someone -- at least 
part time -- is part of our strategic plan for the library, as are 
converting our idiosyncratic cataloging system to Weine and automating. 
To accomplish these goals, we need to revitalize this neglected library 
(holding about 5,500 items), making it so useful and attractive to our 
congregants that they can't help but want to commit to funding it properly.


To that end, we have developed programing, written a mission statement 
and policy (with input from this listserve), gotten the shelves in 
order, improved signage and spine labels, and moved furniture around to 
create a more inviting space. We are fortunate that our committee 
includes someone with connections to Syracuse University's School of 
Information Studies, an architect who specializes in schools, and a 
woman who is the heart and soul of a locally-owned bookstore.


Once again, thanks to all who chimed in on our question. We are grateful 
for your advice.
