Another possible source is _The Jewish Time Line
Encyclopedia_, although it gives more years than dates
and often gives Hebrew dates without the corresponding
English ones.

A quick glance through reminded me of two important
dates :

July 4 (1976) - Israeli commandos rescue hostages in
Entebbe

August 16 (1915) - Leo Frank lynched by mob

*****

A related aside :

I've always wanted to see a calendar of "Important
dates in Judaica Librarianship". Heck, AJL could
publish its own calendar and sell it to members (I'd
probably buy one myself).

I don't know so many dates, though. Maybe someone on a
"library history roundtable" could contribute some.

April 5 (2004)  - firebombing of United Talmud Torah
library in Montreal

April 18 (1966) - fire at JTS Library

May 2 (1963) - establishment of the Judaica Department
of the Harvard College Library

June 18 (1999) - firebombing of B'nai Israel synagogue
library

June 19 (1966) - first annual Association of Jewish
Libraries convention

B'shalom,

Steve
