Title
'If You Build It, They will Come': The Norman Berman Children's Library, 1983-2013
Abstract
The author discusses how the Norman Berman Children's Library of Montreal's Jewish Public Library has served ever-widening cultural, linguistic and diverse age groups, and how the library's collections have evolved to reflect the changes of Jewish life through the decades. In 1982 a special task force was created by the Board of the Jewish Public Library to examine how best to expand the Children’s Library services, collections and its physical premises. The author focuses on the implementation of the task force report, describing the many incarnations of the Library's physical space to accommodate the changing and growing needs of collections, services and staff.
