Protocol

Rules of etiquette suggest that one must whisper in a library. But for the Jewish Community Library of Greater Los Angeles, that rule is just the beginning.\n\nThe library recently held its culminating ceremony for a group of youngsters enrolled in its Children\’s Etiquette and Social Grace class. This is the first time that the institution has sponsored such a class.\n\nThe idea developed after the library director Abigail Yasgur and children\’s director Sylvia Lowe, children\’s librarian, enrolled their respective youngsters in an etiquette class.\n\n\”Libraries are not just about the books,\” Lowe said. \”They\’re becoming meeting places for people in the community.\”
