From Judy:
May is American Jewish Heritage Month. Available for checkout (children/teens/adults) and for sale in the foyer this month are books celebrating the American Jewish experience.

I'm happy to say the Library has received approval to offer books for sale and checkout in the foyer. This month's display will feature books about the Holocaust and Israel for all ages.
Please sanitize your hands prior to handling books, and leave the checkout card (with your full name) in the plastic box provided on the top shelf. Enjoy!

From Judy Petersen:
The National Library of Israel has some marvelous Passover themed articles for your enjoyment.
