Celebrate Your Library

From the Lampert Library

celebrate national library week 21016

Be part of the greater library world and help celebrate National Library Week at the Lampert Library.

Here are some suggestions on how to make a library part of your life this week:

  • Visit the Lampert Library and take a look at the treasure trove of books and movies.
  • Go online to the Shomrei library catalog (shomrei.org). You’ll be amazed at what you might find. We have almost 2400 books already entered and lots more to go.
  • Visit the Jewish Book Council site (Jewishbookcouncil.org). There you’ll find book reviews, essays, interviews and more.
  • Visit the Association of Jewish Libraries site (jewishlibraries.org) for great booklists.
  • Send an email () to the library with the name of your favorite book or a book you’d like to see in the library.
  • Think about joining the synagogue book club. You might discover something new.
  • Encourage your children to learn one new thing from a library resource this week.
  • Of course, use your public library to supplement the Lampert Library.
  • Most important of all is to extend your knowledge and interests and disconnect from your devices for a little time to share words and ideas with other people.
