Notes from the Lampert Library
We are looking ahead to lots of new books of Jewish interest. Some of them will end up in the Lampert Library. So watch for notices in ShomreiWeek and check the display table in the gallery and the library.
For “bookies,” who want an in depth look at the world of Jewish books, the Lampert Library subscribes to The Jewish Review of Books, a quarterly journal filled with thoughtful and sometimes controversial essays and reviews of the most important books of Jewish interest. There is also a great website with some free content. www.jewishreviewofbooks.com
The Lampert Library also subscribes to the Forward (in English). Reading the Forward regularly is another way to keep on top of the latest in the Jewish Book World. www.forward.com
Speaking of the Jewish Book World, individuals may subscribe to the Jewish Book Council’s online newsletter. Reviews are timely and the commentary is frequently fascinating. The Lampert Library subscribe to the Book Council’s print review publication Jewish Book World. The Jewish Book Council is also the sponsor of the National Jewish Book Award. Look for the list of winners soon. www.jewishbookcouncil.org.
The Association of Jewish Libraries, the professional organization for librarians who work in Judaic libraries of all types, also publishes reviews of recent and forthcoming books and maintains an active website. www.jewishlibraries.org
