Today we are celebrating Jewish American Heritage Month.
Here in Acadiana, we have had an active Jewish community for over a century. Established in 1869, Temple Shalom is located in downtown Lafayette. In 1913, the Lafayette Sisterhood was founded and its members have been active in educational and humanitarian projects. They also held many fundraising events like raffles and bake sales.

This week we are celebrating Children’s Book Week.
Although we are a university library, the Louisiana Collection has many children’s books that can be perused in the Jefferson Caffery Reading Room.
Children's Book Week was established in 1919. It has become so popular that it now has two dedicated weeks a year. This year those weeks are May 2-8 and Nov. 7-13. The purpose is to encourage children to read.
