Built with a donation by Richard and Cheryl Litman in memory of Richard's father, the library was filled to capacity as well wishers watched the ribbon-cutting ceremony and enjoyed the delicious book shaped cake. Beautifully decorated by temple member Teri Dorfman of Teri Interiors, the library is an inviting, relaxing and quiet center of knowledge and learning. The major portion of the collection was donated by Bea Schneider in memory of her husband, Sidney. The many boxes of Judaic materials she contributed are now lining the shelves for all our members to read and enjoy. Many other members have been donating books as well.
Additional donations are always welcome.
The collection includes many Bibles, Bible commentaries, fiction, encyclopedias, art books, children's books, nonfiction on every area of Judaism, including history, philosophy, archaeology, reference books, periodicals and newspapers. The books are catalogued on our internal computer system, with thanks to Barry Wallack for the program. Checkout will be available in the near future. The library is open during Religious School and is a quiet space for all to enjoy. Publications suitable for all ages, from preschool through adult, for use in both the classroom and at home.
