[ha-Safran]: Scheduling of convention

One consideration in scheduling the convention before the last week in June might have been not to have the convention fall during the Three Weeks between the Fast of the 17th of Tamuz and the Fast of Tishah B'Av, which many Jews observe as a period of semi-mourning. In Denver we barely made it.

I think the organization where you work holds the reprint rights! When I did my Master's project on Chanukah music 14 years ago, a 78rpm record from the 40's, which I consulted, said, "Used by permission of the Board of Jewish Education [of NYC]." -Stanley Nachamie [EMAIL PROTECTED] Messages

RE: [ha-Safran]: Library Conventions

Back to back conventions is an interesting thought. But, if one has a family with small children it is sometimes hard to get away for so many days in a row. I would love to see a poll taken among members as to what time works best for convention. Perhaps the very beginning of June would work better

[ha-Safran]: Re: dates of AJL conventions

I agree that the third week of June is difficult, as our school is also in session then. Last year, some in the administrative office complained about my absence during the last week of school, even though I announced the fact well in advance. I plan to be in Oakland, and I hope to see everyone

[ha-Safran]: The AJS option?

This option has also been discussed in years past. There are a number of reasons why I don't think it would work: (1) AJL conventions are three-and-a-half days long -- two full days of sessions, preceded and followed by business meetings. It might be possible to compress the schedule by half

Re: [ha-Safran]: Dates for AJL conventions

I would like to add my two cents to this discussion, not as a school librarian, but as a parent. The 3rd week in June has always been very difficult for me to get to convention. It is always either: 1)my children's last days of school (awards assemblies, graduations, etc..), or 2)the week between
