New books have appeared in the Pavlodar branch of the Republican Jewish Library.

   One of the most interesting and long-expected authors are Grigory Oster, Boris Zahoder, and Eduard Uspensky. They are the most popular among young readers.

   There is an opinion that modern Jewish literature had three founders - Sholom Aleichem, Yitshak Perets, and Mendele Mojcher-Sforim. Books by the first two writers have long become the most readable in Pavlodar library. Not long ago the library staff succeeded in purchasing a collection of his stories.

   Pavlodar Jewish library is grateful to AJJDC for support in purchasing new books.
