Join us for an unforgettable event, in collaboration with the ABQLA, the Jewish Public Library, and McGill.

Eddie Paul, from the Jewish Public Library, will be presenting a session on giving workshops which bring life to libraries’ rare books and artefacts.

The JPL’s rare book collection of approximately 1800 volumes has been the focus of an ongoing initiative for the last 11 years: rare book workshops conducted for universities, secondary and elementary students, churches, synagogues, community centres, and museums, often in collaboration with other rare book librarians and specialists.  The overarching subtext for these workshops is storytelling about the lives of books, the people who wrote them, read them, produced them, and often divided them.  This session will give you a taste of how these programs work and we’ve tried to confer meaning onto material history using narrative, anecdotes, and other strategies.  Special Collections will be highlighted from both the Jewish Public Library and McGill.
