Privileged to have shared our story navigating the library's print collection with others in the library community. While our collections are largely online (and growing!) we still maintain key texts that support Jewish education and learning.

Our Director of Libraries and Learning Resources, Donna Guerin presented as part of a panel at the OCLC (Online Computer Library Center) on September 26.

She represented Gratz to a diverse audience and discussed the process of evaluating our current library holdings.

OCLC is a US-based "nonprofit, membership, computer library service and research organization dedicated to the public purposes of furthering access to the world's information and reducing information costs".

Way to go, Donna! 👏
