Editor's Note: The accompanyinir article was written by Mri Norman Brown in the interest of the valuable work now being done by tluf Business and Professional group of the Council of Jdwisii Women in rebuilding the Centre liibrary.Mr. Brown is a past president of the Jewish Com-> m|Dnity Council and is still vitally interested in community affairs.
Two vitally important books, indicating tjt^e great intellectual ferment which has been gohig^on during the past decade or so among Jewish thinkers, will form the theme for the concluding lecture Monday Evening, December 13 at 8 p.m. in the "Current Jewish Literature" lecture serie^ a Schara Tzedeck's Adiilt Institute's Fall Ses^^on. TPhe lecture-review' based on wiiiiam Herberg's "Judaism {.and Modern Man" and Professor Morris R. Cohen's Journey of a Dreamer" will be given by Les Raphael, prominent communal worker and leader.
Wiiiiam Perberg's book indicates most dramaticaljly the shift in thinking on the part of many leading Jewish intellectuals. Professor Morris Raphael Cohen was one of America's leading philosophers, during the past 30 years. His autobiography "Journey of a Dreamer" reveals as does Herberg's tbook, the impact of the American scene on American Judaism. ,

That there has been no library worthy of the name to this ^te, however, remains a fact. Neither the good mtentions of groups nor the blessings of Cominunity' Councils were enough.

A library without books is as useless as a well-stocked one without readers — both are necessary. It is the belief of our fut^re librarians ttiat they can provide all of this to our community, t>ut not on a platter, and hot without help. First of all must come books aiid these require money for purchasing. At each meeting of their group, they collect money amongst themselves for this purpose.
However", we can help too. A book purchased for an occasion, with our own or someone else's name on the fly leaf as a contribution to a Jewish. Communis Library is not too great to ask' of anyone. Or perhaps we have one or more books of Jewish content we no longer have use for. Either way we wish to do it, a phone call to the Community Centre for a pledge card, will identify you as wishing to help in this project.
