[Mendele] Mendele Personal Notices & Announcements: Center for Yiddish Culture--Copies of Itzik Kipnis fables, available to institutions (protim below)

[Victor Bers]

Yiddish Books Available for Institutions

The Center for Yiddish Culture, during its ten year history, published 13
Yiddish books in translation, held hundreds of programs on Yiddish culture,
and taught Yiddish to thousands of students around the world.  Since we've
closed our doors to everything but online programs in 2005, we have an
overabundance of two of our titles which make an excellent educational tool
for young people and adult beginners of Yiddish learning.

The books are translations of two of Itzik Kipnis' fables, The Little House
(der shtibele) and Four Butterflies (fir bobilekh) published bi-lingually
with a pronunciation guide.  As you might know, Kipnis was a world renowned
creative Yiddish writer whose work celebrated modern, urban existence with
an optimistic tone and minimalist poetic language.

We are happy to offer bulk copies of these two titles to institutions that
can use them in their educational programming (i.e. not for resale.)
Eligible institutions must be able accept delivery of 50 or more copies of
each title and have active Yiddish educational programming where these
books can facilitate Yiddish learning.  The Center only requests that the
accepting institution pay for shipping and acknowledge the donation in
whatever way they can.

Please let us know your interest in utilizing these books by contacting us
at www.yiddishculture.org and letting us know what your institution's name
is, your mission, how you plan to utilize these books and how many copies
of each you are requesting.

a shaynem dank,
