Our library is a wonderful resource for Temple Emanu-El's children, teens, parents and teachers. It houses close to 2000 books on a variety of topics, and the Temple Emanu-El Archives.
Our collection consists of a wide-range of Jewish-themed media that includes: Adult & Children Fiction & Non-Fiction Books, Audio Books, Reference Books, Magazines, and Movie & Music CDs and DVDs.

We are so fortunate to have our library staffed with wonderful volunteers. But we can use your help, too, to read and review our books for other congregants, make suggestions for books and media that you would like to see as part of our collection, Read-Aloud to our kids, or just lend a hand.

There are many ways to make sure our library continues to grow. Make a donation in honor of a loved one, donate books or funds to assist with the purchase of books, audio books, music or videos -- every donation makes a difference. The library also accepts donations of gently-used Judaic content books. Books will be added to the collection at the librarian's discretion, and may be passed along to other book-related charities or sold to fund library purchases.
