Welcome back to school.
Please come by to see the many new books acquired over the summer.

Labor Day
Learn about the struggle of workers to organized for better wages and safer working conditions through history books, biographies and wonderful fiction. Katherine Paterson’s Bread and Roses, Too is just one example. Based on actual events in 1912 as seen through the eyes of twelve-year old Rosa, we learn about the living conditions of mill workers and the sacrifices made to improve them. We also have books on the many Jewish labor organizers, The Triangle Shirtwaist Factory Fire, Mother (Mary Harris) Jones and many others.

Celebrate the High Holy Days with books! We have a large selection of books about and stories of Rosh ha-Shana and Yom Kippur.
