Booknotes

We’ve had a busy couple of months at Ha-Sifriyah! Our membership in the Amazon Associates program is off to a terrific start. During the holiday season, our Amazon purchases earned the library just over $100, all of which will be used to enhance our collection. Thanks to everyone who used our link when making their purchases! This is a year-round program, so please keep the link handy (or access it from our webpage www.templeemanu-el.org/library) and tell your friends and family.

We’d also like to thank Paige Cohen, Rita & Jonathan Harris, Angelina Lucia, the Shalek family, Ellyn Spencer and the Religious School for donating books off our wish list at December’s book fair. Thanks also to Debbi Levasseur for donating many wonderful books to the library over the past two months.
