Archive(d Shofars)
Libraries have many functions. In communities like the Beth Ami one of them can (and I believe should) be to serve as the archive of the congregation. I plan to strengthen this function in the future and collect all documents from the community’s life both in digital and original paper copies. Therefore I would like to ask any community member who produces flyers for the synagogue, puts up events or creates any other documentation please pass a copy to the library.
The library has been saving copies of the monthly newsletter, Shofar. So did Karen Gould, who has been putting them together tirelessly for many years. This week we consolidated the two collections in the library. Karen’s collection, separated into binders by years, is now located in the library, right next to the reference section. You can come in and look up what was going on at CBA back from 1993. You can also find the digital (PDF) version of the Shofar for the last two years here.
