[ha-Safran] Sydney Taylor Book Award Committee

[Ellen Tilman]

Dear Colleagues,



A position on the Sydney Taylor Book Award Committee will be available
beginning in June, 2017. AJL members are encouraged to apply.



Applicants should be members of AJL, familiar with the scope of Judaic
children’s literature, experienced in writing critical reviews, willing and
able to read and review over 120 books during the course of a year, and
able to meet deadlines.



Committee members are expected to attend the annual conference and to
participate in committee-sponsored events, including speaking at the
Committee’s annual presentation.  The term of membership on the Committee
is four years.  Each committee member typically receives more than $1500 in
books for review, which may be kept for personal use or added to the
member’s library.



Membership on the Sydney Taylor Book Award Committee is both fun and
intellectually challenging. It also requires a substantial commitment in
terms of time and energy.



Members must be able to submit reviews electronically and correspond with
the committee members through regular e-mail.  Familiarity with Google Docs
is helpful but not required.



To apply, send a letter indicating the reasons for your interest, a resume,
and several examples of your recent reviews of Jewish children’s books to
Ellen Tilman, Committee Chair, at ch...@sydneytaylorbookaward.org or
ellen.til...@gmail.com



Applications will be accepted through March 21, 2017..



Ellen Tilman, Chair

Sydney Taylor Book Award Committee

[ha-Safran] Threats to Jewish Institutions

[Jacqueline Benefraim]

Shalom,

I gave a presentation on emergency preparedness at the 2013 AJL Conference.
Although most of my presentation had to do with care of books after a fire
or natural disaster, here are the notes for the page about active shooters:

And, in case of a shooting OR terrorist incident...

If you hear, “Lockdown” over the intercom or an administrator announces the
Lockdown in person, please immediately adhere to the following procedures:

1.Campus administrators will announce lockdown procedures by campus
intercom system.

2.Direct all students, staff, and visitors into a classroom or office
space.

3.Lock doors, cover windows, or lower blinds.

4.Block all doors with desk/shelf or anything that can create some
barricade between the door and intruder.

5.Move individuals away from windows, doors; Turn off lights and
computer monitors. Keep everyone quiet as possible.

6.Turn *OFF *all cell phones in the room, a light on your screen could
give you away.

7.Remain in sheltered area until “All Clear” signal is given by law
enforcement or administrators.

8.Note and report anyone missing to the Site Commander.
9.   During a local or regional emergency that extends beyond your
institution, cell phone lines might be limited to emergency personnel only,
but you should be able to text people.

10. Read through the entire instructions from Homeland Security

Be sure to have a plan in place. I've cleared out a place to hide for our
patrons, have you?

Please watch https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5VcSwejU2D0

Hope that all of these threats turn out to be false,

Jackie
