I'd like to second Kathy Bloomfield's call for applications. As last
year's recipient of the Groner-Wikler scholarship, I urge those of you who
work with children to consider applying. It's a great honor to win this
scholarship, so generously underwritten by Kar-Ben, and represent our
collective devotion to Jewish children's literature and library service.
Maybe this year you'll be the winner!
