[ha-Safran] ALA's I Love My Librarian Award

[Kathleen Bloomfield via Hasafran]

Hello everyone,


I received the following message from the American Library Association.  I
am forwarding it to all of you because I believe we all know at least one
librarian we could recommend for this wonderful award.  If you know
someone, please nominate them at:
 http://www.ilovelibraries.org/lovemylibrarian
 .


Shana Tova!


Kathy B.



Here is the email I received:

We’re excited to share that nominations for this year’s national I Love My
Librarian Award are now open and will run through November 9. Ten
exceptional school, public and college/university librarians will be
selected to receive $5,000 in recognition of their service to their
communities. They'll be honored during a virtual award ceremony at ALA’s
Midwinter Meeting in January 2021.



Having a large nomination pool is absolutely essential to selecting winners
who have powerful stories and reflect the diversity of the profession,
representing a variety of backgrounds, library types and regions. We hope
you will share news about the award via your social media, website,
newsletter or wherever else you think people can be reached. We have many
free promotional tools
 available
on the I Love My Librarian website, including newsletter copy, digital
graphics and sample social media posts to make it easy for libraries and
library supporters to promote the award in their communities. Feel free to
highlight the nomination link
 through your communication
networks. In the past, your channels have been extremely helpful in getting
out the message far and wide to libraries and library advocates.



Thank you so much for anything you are able to do to help spread the word!
Please don’t hesitate to get in touch if you have questions about the award
or if there’s something I can do to assist efforts.



All the best,

Heather

[ha-Safran] Information on Hadassah

[Diane Romm via Hasafran]

The student looking for information on Hadassah from 1913-1940 might also want 
to look at the archives of the Historical Jewish Press at the National Library 
of Israel, using a search similar to this:
http://jpress.nli.org.il/Olive/APA/NLI/?action=tab=search&_ga=2.258316937.269832575.1600447396-1151285474.1579277579#panel=search=1

Re: [ha-Safran] Seeking Holocaust book for grades 6-7 as a class read

[Fred Isaac via Hasafran]

All --

In the article just released in Judaica Librarianship, I identified all of
the Shoah books by decade, and they appear as part of Rachel
Leket-Mor's wonderful charting. Several are not in the list.
