“Anyone who thinks the world is without magic, hasn’t been to a library” – Amy Dominy author of OyMG
The mission of the Beth Shalom Synagogue Library is to provide Judaic materials not readily available in the wider secular community that will support and enhance the various programs of the synagogue and provide a framework for lifelong learning among the clergy, staff, and members of the congregation.
The resource center includes more than 12,000 items of Judaic content and related subjects in varied formats of books, periodicals, large print books and audio books. We have materials for all ages and backgrounds both educational and entertaining.
HOURS:
The resource center is open to members of the congregation when the main office is open. Feel free to relax, use a computer, study, or check out a book (just sign it out at the circulation desk). If you find the door locked, somebody in the main office will open the resource center for you.
During the school year, staff is usually available on Sunday mornings when the religious school is in session.
We can always arrange to be available for you if you email us ahead of time. If you have an urgent request, please inform the front office and they will reach us.
