WITH DEEPEST APOLOGIES, TEMPLE BETH AM HAS CLOSED OUR LIBRARY FOR THE SUMMER BECAUSE OF CONSTRUCTION.
WE LOOK FORWARD TO REOPENING IN THE FALL. OUR LIBRARIAN, PAT, WILL BE GLAD TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS YOU HAVE VIA EMAIL.
The Temple Beth Am library has a collection of over 5,000 materials for children, teens, and adults. Fiction books are by Jewish authors, have Jewish settings or themes, and/or convey Jewish values. Non-fiction topics include holidays, history and Torah.
Temple members and staff may access the library and check out books or magazines during office hours and during religious school. Non-members can schedule an appointment with the librarian. Check-out time is for one month. Please call in or email the librarian to renew materials. A large book return slot can be found next to the library door.
If you have books to donate, please provide a list of titles and authors to the librarian. She will make further arrangements with you and provide referrals if we are unable to accept the books. Monetary donations are always welcome and can be sent to the Temple office.
Our professional librarian, Pat, is available in the library on Tuesdays from 4:30 PM-8:30 PM and on Sundays from 9:00 AM-12:30 PM. She is also available by appointment.
We have an active library committee and group of volunteers. The library committee meets approximately every other month working on planning, policy, special projects, and volunteer recruitment. We are planning to automate our library during 2008.
Library volunteers do a variety of activities including reshelving, tracking overdue materials, preparing new books for the shelf, and other work as needed. Please contact the library committee chair if you are interested.
We look forward to seeing you in person.
Pat, Librarian
