To read a book for the first time is to make an acquaintance with a new friend; to read it for a second time is to meet an old one. ~ Chinese Saying
Please come and make some new friends at the library.
Our library is open and filled with excited children discovering the joy of reading wonderful Jewish books. Students from Pre-K though 2nd grade have already come in to enjoy story time and to check out books. All children in grades Pre-K through 4th grade will enjoy a monthly story and weekly book check out time. The first story the students enjoyed was Because Nothing Looks Like God by Rabbi and Karen Kushner. The book posed the question, "How does God do his work?" The answer was that God needs our hands to do his work. The students then created a mural with their hands so that we would always remember how important we are to God's plan for us and for the world. It was so wonderful to watch such enthusiastic library patrons!
Please don't let your children be the only ones to use our beautiful library . We have a treasure trove of literature for all to enjoy! Just fill out the card from the back of the book and drop it in the brown box, I'll do the rest!
Shalom and
Happy Reading,
Sue Sobin
