A month ago, Adas Shalom
Synagogue became the third
Detroit communal institution
to receive the Library Cita-
tion of the Jewish Book Coun-
cil, an agency of the National
Jewish Welfare Board.
Before the Adas Shalom Li-
brary joined those of Cong.
Shaarey Zedek and Temple
Beth El, which were cited by
the JBC in 1948 and 1950, re-
spectively, many people were
unaware that such a rich re-
source of Jewish educational
material was available in De-
troit's Northwest section.
That the congregants of Adas
Shalom, however, are "library
conscious" is demonstrated by
their support of the library
in terms of financial assistance
and in readership of its 5,000
plus volumes.
Gathered in one room, on
the second floor of the syna-
gogue. is a compilation of
scholarly texts. ,encyclopedias,
Hebrew and Yiddish books, as
well as volumes of juvenile
stories, fiction, historical, re-
ligious and cultural material.
Joseph Babicki, librarian
at the synagogue, remem-
bers well the day when the
project was started. It was
on July 27, 1954—his birth-
day. It was also on his birth-
day—eight years earlier—
that Babicki came to Detroit.
Born in Poland and raised
in Russia, Babicki had just
been awarded his bachelor's
degree from the University of I
Moscow in 1941. when the I
Nazis overran the little town
where he lived and took him
prisoner. He spent the next
three and a half years in Ger-
man labor camps.

After the war, he
brought here by his uncles.
Drs. Abraham and Ira Alt-
shuler. He holds two masters
degrees for which he studied
here. One in history from

Edmond,

library science, he won from
the University of Michigan a
year later.
Since that time, he has
worked as a full-time libra-
rian at WSU. In that capacity,
he was contacted by Nicholas
M. Lazar, WSU professor of
engineering and at the time
chairman of the library com-
mittee of Adas Shalom, to be-
come librarian of the newly-
planned synagogue library.
The first book was circulated
in November, 1954, and since
that time hundreds of books
have made their way into the
hands of members of the con-
gregation, people in the com-
munity and even non-Jews in-
terested in certain aspects of
Jewish life.
Working as Babicki's assis-
tant is Mrs. Evelyn Schwartz,
who has charge of the library
from 1 to 5 p.m., Monday and
Wednesday and 1 to 7 p.m.,
Tuesday and Thursday. Babicki
is there until 7 p.m., Monday
and Wednesday, and on Sun-
day morning.
Babicki says that "his read-
ers" (and he uses the term
fondly) fall into several classi-
fications, the largest portion
—about 70 percent—being chil-
dren.
There also is a steady
group of adult readers, sev-
eral non-Jews (many from
neighboring Mayflower Con-
gregational Church), a seg-
ment of older students and
adults engaged in study pro-
grams and those who are
interested in the new Jew-
ish novels.
Although there is a small
nucleous of immigrants who
use the library's facilities reg-
ularly, Babicki said, there is
an insignificant number of
Yiddish books being circu-
lated, and the numbers are
steadily declining.
In an attempt to make the
library an integral part of
synagogue life. panels for
young people, participation in
Jewish Book Fair. events for
Jewish Book Month and other
special programs are spon-
sored.
The completely catalogued li-
brary now has an annual bud-
get of nearly $6,000. with
another $1,000 ear-marked for
books and periodicals. Other
sources of income are from
library patrons and from the
synagogue library fund. which
provides many other books for
its shelves each year.
Babicki says that the Adas
Shalom library operates much
like a public library, with one
notable exception. In the mat-
ter of fines. Babicki said, rather
than take a chance of discour-
aging readership, "we are like-
ly to reduce a 25-cent fine to
a dime and give a dollar's
worth of lecture."
The Adas Shalom librarian
named several young people
who have grown up in the
congregation and have made or
are making a mark in leader-
ship of the community. He
mentions proudly that they
were "among my most ardent
patrons."
