Well, indeed the Library has books on the topic: a couple of biographies of Jacob Adler, a book on the Moscow Yiddish theater, one on "Kafka and the Yiddish theater," and a few on the Yiddish theater in America.
Often patrons approach the reference desk sheepishly, reluctantly, hesitantly, and preface their question by such comments: I'm not sure if you can help, I'm not sure if there are books on. At least they come to the library, which expresses some hope they will find what they need here.
