The Jewish Public Library

| Abstract |
According to the journal's Abstract for this one-page essay by Montreal poet Irving Layton (1912-2006), it was: "Written by Irving Layton in 1948, this piece originally served as the introduction to the “Annual Library Book of the Jewish Public Library”. The Library not only profited from Layton’s writing in this era, but also his teaching. Layton served as an instructor for the Yidishe folks universitet (YIFO), teaching such classes as philosophy and Canadian history. The piece acts as an example of the close relationship between the Jewish Public Library and the writers, poets and artists that filled the Library’s shelves with their works. Cultural luminaries such as A.M. Klein, Rochl Korn, and J.I. Segal, led the Library in thought, word, and deed."
