Library Lines
By Lenora Stein
The line most often heard
when people visit the Speiz-
man Jewish Library at Shalom
Park is, “My goodness, it’s
beginning to look like a
library!” Gone are the empty
shelves and in their place is a
growing Jewish book and
periodical collection for
children and adults. The new
library equipment (special
shelving, card catalog, etc.) is
being delivered. The myriad of
boxes of books are getting un
packed and a quality, current
Jewish selection of wonderful
reading materials is emerging.
The library regularly re
ceives more than twenty of the
most popular Jewish maga
zines which includes those for
children. Most of these are
unavailable elsewhere in
Charlotte. Stop by and catch
up on the very latest going on
in the Jewish world.
The book collection is shap
ing up so that there is a wide
choice of Jewish holiday books
for children, always a highly
requested and in-demand item.
A successful Jewish Book
Month celebration and Li
brary dedication took place on
Nov. 15. The classroom library
visit program has begun in all
the schools which use Shalom
Park. Students are partici
pating in the Great National
Jewish Read-In for the benefit
of the Jewish Braille Institute,
a tzedakah project that assists
the Jewish blind and encour
ages Judaic (and other)
reading for sighted children. A
bibliography of children’s
books in the Speizman library
has been developed in conjunc
tion with the I.D. Blumenthal
Scholar-In-Residence weekend
on January 15-16 at Temple
Israel in Charlotte. Copies of
this bibliography, “My Jewish
Family History,” are available
in the library.
Donations to the Library
Tribute Fund of the Founda
tion are, of course, always
gratefully accepted.
