The South Florida Chapter of the Association of Jewish Libraries is proud to host the 34th Annual Convention of AJL! Judaica librarians from around the globe will be converging on lovely Boca Raton to share information and exchange ideas.

Imagine a shuk, a marketplace, filled with ideas and packaged projects for your library -- a room full of librarians displaying, explaining, and sharing successful programs. And that's only the beginning!
SSC (Synagogue, School, and Community Centers Division) sessions are planned on the issues of bibliotherapy, current fiction on Israel and the Holocaust, using technology in Jewish educational settings, as well as the latest in Jewish folklore and the Great Books Foundation.
R&S (Research & Special Libraries Division) sessions will be held on the Jewish communities in Florida, Latin America, the Caribbean, and other exotic locations; Judaica in community colleges; Jewish American and Yiddish literature; and the Shoah. Many addresses and workshops will be given on rare Judaica books, digitization, curating library exhibits, building a new library around an old collection, the Library of Congress cataloging update, the NACO funnel project, and theology librarianship.

The convention will be held at the Boca Raton Resort & Club, a hotel known for its "Mediterranean ambiance and intriguing antiques." This magnificent resort is situated in Boca Raton, the fastest growing Jewish community in the U.S. at the heart of South Florida's Gold Coast in south Palm Beach County.
