Stories of Exile Reading Groups for Public Libraries uses works of Yiddish literature in translation to encourage teens and adults to think about experiences of displacement, migration, homelands, journeys, identity, and belonging—and Amarillo Public Library is one of only 30 libraries in the United States that earned the right to participate.  Stories of Exile will take place from September to December at the Downtown Library.

According to the Association of the Jewish Libraries, “Ellen Cassedy has done marvelous work… bringing [these stories] to life in an English that honors the beauty and texture of the author's vision.”
