[ha-Safran] INTENTIONS by Deborah Heiligman

2013-02-14 Thread Amy Turim, Librarian
I would be interested to see some discussion on this list about this new
book, winner of the Sydney Taylor Award for Teen Readers. I read the novel
and found it accessible, interesting and worthwhile, but the pivotal opening
event is troubling, and how many teenagers will be able to push beyond the
specifics of that scene and gain a meaningful overview?  I've been asked to
keep it in our library collection, but not to recommend it outright to our
teens. Frankly, I fully understand the concern.

 

How do others feel?  Hasafran is an insightful community!  Help me come to
peaceful terms with this book!

 

Many thanks,

Amy Turim

Re: [ha-Safran] BUCHENWALD

2013-01-29 Thread Amy Turim, Librarian
An extremely fragile paperback edition of BUCHENWALD by Leon Leloir has
unexpectedly landed in my hands, and I don't know what to do with it.  It's
completely in French, and I believe it dates to May 1945.

Any suggestions?  Is this a rare book?  I'd be very glad to send it to an
appropriate home.

[ha-Safran] Cataloging advice

2013-01-10 Thread Amy Turim, Librarian
The answer may be very obvious to some of you, and I look forward to your
input!  I'm stymied by how to catalog two books: JEWS AND WORDS by Oz &
Oz-Salzberger, and BE A MENSCH by Moshe Kaplan.

JEWS AND WORDS would rightfully go under Intellectual Life, but Weine has no
such category.  Suggestions??

As to BE A MENSCH. Jewish Identity?  Again, I'm at a bit of a loss.

 

Any help much appreciated - you may contact me off-list @
libr...@templeemanuelmd.org
