To our American friends:
We know that many Americans evaluate their tax position at the end of the year, and so we are turning to all our generous donors to think of us seriously at this time.
The library has doubled in area, thanks to a generous gift, but now we must support this enlarged facility. We already have the joy of seeing additional borrowers and we can spread out the books instead of having them in double rows. But it all takes additional funds.
You are greatly valued friends of the Safed English Library. Will you please help us once again?
Started by Safed’s treasure, Edyth Geiger, from her much-loved personal collection, the
volunteer-run and supported Safed English Library has grown and
reached
readers throughout the Galilee, Israel’s mountainous north. Readers come from
towns, kibbutzim, and moshavim (communal farms), spread over this largely rural
area where access to English language books is difficult at best. It is a free
lending library in the best of library traditions.
Comprised now of some 20,000 books of every type, the Safed English Library has become of interest to people throughout the world who have learned of its existence. Its unique status as a free English language book resource in a Hebrew-speaking country makes it a recognized landmark throughout Israel.
