---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: laurie ornstein <laurenmadeline@xxxxxxxxx> Subject: book drive for Bedouin school English libraries Hi Everyone, I've just launched a new English-language library at Abda Elementary-Junior High School (grades 1-9). This village school is located south of Midreshet Ben Gurion, across from Avdat National Park. The first books came from the Jade Bar Shalom Books for Israel Project and Richard Steinitz has once again generously sent a package of his lovely books, too. I'm reaching out to you all to lend a hand...a book or two.. for this new library. If you're coming south, I'll be glad to arrange a pick-up in Beersheva. If you plan on walking in the Ben Gurion March next weekend, you can drop in and drop off the books and have a cup of coffee. I'll be in the north next month at Jacob's Ladder Winter Weekend (Dec. 10-11) and will be performing at Klil Cafe in the W. Galilee on Thurs.,Dec. 9. Bring your offerings...and enjoy the music! Of course, you can bring books to the ETAI conference in Beersheva in Dec.. Remember, all books should be in very good condition. They should be suitable for elementary or junior high school learners. Of course, if you have books for high school, I'll be glad to have those as well and will make sure they find a good home in another school library. Please contact me if you can help. Thanks!
