Boone County Library Dives Into Yiddish Literature | Lexington News

Boone County Public Library is diving into Yiddish literature with a national spotlight—selected as one of 40 libraries to join the Yiddish Book Center’s Public Libraries Program. Through themed reading groups featuring classic Yiddish works like “Motl, the Cantor’s Son” and McBride’s “The Heaven & Earth Grocery Store,” the library aims to spark deep conversations on Jewish identity, community, and belonging. Branch manager Karen Helmle will attend a training workshop in November 2026 to launch this cultural journey, bringing neighbors together through stories that bridge worlds.
