Hi all,

Depending on your community, this may be a great opportunity for a grant-funded reading group next year. I took a look at the links, and the program sounds really interesting. If your community has a Jewish Center or other organization, it could provide a great opportunity for bridge-building and partnership. But hurry and decide. The grant application period closes on April 19th.


Regards,

Dale

The Yiddish Book Center's "Stories of Exile" Reading Groups for Public Libraries<https://gcc02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.yiddishbookcenter.org%2Flanguage-literature-culture%2Freading-groups-public-libraries&data=05%7C01%7Celi.guinnee%40state.nm.us%7C95ed7bf9d1a2458f7b3008da70a53f34%7C04aa6bf4d436426fbfa404b7a70e60ff%7C0%7C0%7C637946152876780210%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C2000%7C%7C%7C&sdata=uIVY6EUuLury5i%2B78a69xQzfwKlhlTTHbHgpqteKHx4%3D&reserved=0> is a reading and discussion program to engage teens and adults in thinking about experiences of displacement, migration, and diaspora. Using Yiddish literature as a portal, "Stories of Exile" will feature works in translation that explore narratives that grapple with questions of homelands, journeys, identity, and belonging. Reading groups will compare these works, written in Yiddish in the early- and mid-20th century, to works by contemporary writers from all across the globe.

Please apply by August 19, 2022.<https://gcc02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.yiddishbookcenter.org%2Flanguage-literature-culture%2Fstories-exile-reading-groups%2Fapply&data=05%7C01%7Celi.guinnee%40state.nm.us%7C95ed7bf9d1a2458f7b3008da70a53f34%7C04aa6bf4d436426fbfa404b7a70e60ff%7C0%7C0%7C637946152876780210%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C2000%7C%7C%7C&sdata=b%2FFTpumdJ1n%2B4GUjKw4UxkIllh00ueEHwsBkFfI9gwg%3D&reserved=0>

Participating libraries will organize a reading group for adults, teens ages 16 to 19, or a combined group to discuss three books of Yiddish literature in translation, as well as one book related to a community served by their library.

All program participants will receive:

  *   15 copies of each of three books on the Yiddish Book Center reading list, as well as one copy of each both for the discussion facilitator and the library's collection.
  *   15 copies of one additional book, selected by the library, which is related to the experiences of the community served by the library.
  *   Travel, accommodation, and meal expenses paid for participation in a workshop at the Yiddish Book Center in Amherst, MA, to orient library staff on engaging reading groups and discussion of Yiddish literature in translation.
  *   Online access to downloadable discussion guides and programming resources for future use.
  *   Advice and assistance in identifying potential guest speakers, as well as training and support for engaging guest speakers at public events.
