Library  

The primary purpose of the library is educational; to contribute to the development of Jewish social, intellectual and spiritual values. The library collection supports the adult and juvenile educational programs of the synagogue, meets the professional needs of the rabbi and religious school staff, and provides adult and juvenile recreational reading.

Congregants may check out books for a six week period. The library computer can be used to search for books. Directions for its use are posted directly above the computer. All books must be signed out. Please print your name and date on the card in the back of each book and leave the card in the bin located just inside the door. Books should be returned to the designated bin located next to the computer.
