Gift of Library Books

COCOA, FLORIDA – With the start of the New Year, Cambridge Elementary Magnet School received a wonderful gift.  The Board of Directors of the Brevard Jewish Community School (BJCS) donated the institution’s entire inventory of library books.

BJCS was forced to close its doors just prior to the beginning of the current school year. Among the possessions left behind was the school’s much-loved library of approximately 2500 books. The books range in reading levels from early reader through middle school, although the majority of the library’s contents focus on the elementary school reader. Most of the books were hand-chosen and lovingly cared for over the years by Sharon Deligdish, the school’s librarian.

In an email to the school, Lee Kananack, BJCS representative, stated that they were delighted to be able to offer their school's books to Cambridge.  “We know that whether some ultimately find their way in to your classrooms, become part of individual students’ personal collections at home, and/or join the others in your library, they will be just as treasured and enjoyed as they were while with us.”
