Celia Gurevitch Jewish Community Library

Our used booksale at Simcha Sunday was a great success. We made more than double of our target in terms of revenues, by selling about 4th or 5th of the books we had. We also got one bid for the silent auction on the Encyclopedia Judaica, so it was sold at its opening price.

Thank you all who in the last weeks (or earlier) brought books to the library for us to sell. Thank you for the Friedman Center who let us use part of their table. Our 19 boxes of books did not fit on a single table, so we (and the gift shop too) were lucky that the Friedman Center did not use the entire surface of their table. I would also like to thank Karen Gould and the JCC for putting on this fabulous event. I had a great time, along with hundreds of others.

I was so busy for most of the 4-5 hours at the festival that forgot to ask somebody to make a picture of me behind the table. Thus I can only show how the boxes looked in the library before I took them out to Simcha Sunday and how the table looked right after I had set it up.
