100,000 books
"In November, the ghetto library went beyond the figure of a hundred thousand books distributed to readers. Because of this, the library is organizing a big cultural morning recital, which will take place in the Ghetto Theater on Sunday, the 13th of this month, at noon. On the program: Opening by G. Yashunski, welcome from the ghetto chief, writers, scientific circles, teachers, and the Youth Club. Dr. Ts. Feldman will speak on 'The Book and Martyrdom,' then a lecture by H. Kruk, '100,000 Books in the Ghetto.' The second part will be a concert of words and music.
"The finale: distribution of gift books to the first reader in the ghetto and the youngest reader of the library."
~~ from The Last Days of the Jerusalem of Lithuania: Chronicles from the Vilna Ghetto and the Camps, 1939—1944 by Herman Kruk
