Includes bibliographical references."When a fire broke out at New York's Jewish Theological Seminary library in 1966, firefighters raced to the rescue.

Would the priceless stories in the waterlogged pages be lost forever? Or could helping hands from every background and corner of the neighborhood come together to become keepers of stories too? This powerfully told and stunningly illustrated true story is a timely reminder of the essential role we all play in keeping libraries and the books within safe for generations to come."--- Subjects: Picture books.; Illustrated works.; Informational works.; Jewish Theological Seminary of America.
