The children’s library is located on the second floor across the hall from the Hebrew School classrooms.  

 

The Library contains a diverse collection of books under the following categories:

Fiction, Bible Stories, History, Holidays and Shabbat, Sports, Humor, Mysteries, Easy Books, Biographies, Holocaust, and Science Fiction.  Our library also contains video cassettes and audio tapes; catalogs and sources for large print books.  There is also a substantial reference section. 

 

Special library programs have included Read-a-Thons for the benefit of the Jewish Braille Institute of America.  Over the years we have also participated in Book Review contests on the school, local, and national levels. 

 

The library is subsidized mainly by donations to the Joseph M. Ravitz Library Fund.  For more information about contributing to the library, please visit Make a Donation.  Joseph M. Ravitz was a former teacher and principle of the religious school.  Donations may be made “in memory of”, “in honor of”, “with wishes for a speedy recovery”, as general donations and through a yearly allocation by Sisterhood.  Books of Jewish content are gladly accepted.  Just mail or bring them to the synagogue.

 

VISIT THE LIBRARY!  It runs on a “do it yourself” checkout system, and it is open during regular synagogue office hours (usually Monday-Friday 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.) and during Hebrew School.

 

 

Expose your children to Jewish books early –

before they start religious school –

and encourage your older children to read Jewish titles as well!
