Re: [ha-Safran]: Children's version of Encyclopedia Judaica?

A number of years ago AJL had a committee to produce just such a brochure. Does anyone remember what happened to it? Outreach is a definite item on my agenda. We are trying to make a dent, but maybe it is time to make a concerted effort to reach library students. Susan Dubin Off-the-Shelf Library

Dear Linda, After reading the book,I also agree that it is destructive and hateful. Like you, I am leary of calling for the banning of this book because I do not accept censorship as an option. However, I feel that we can best alert those people outside of the Judaic library world by writing
