Adult Library
The Beth Israel Adult Library houses over 2700 volumes in areas such as Jewish culture, theology, religious practice, cookbooks, arts, music, crafts, fiction of Jewish interest, newspapers and magazines, and Jewish and Israeli history and biography. Our mission as a library is to enrich the religious and cultural Jewish life and identity of the members of the congregation. The BIC Library supplements the synagogue’s adult education program by providing materials in support of the program’s curriculum and special events, and providing a reliable set of reference materials to support the memberships general inquiries into Jewish subjects.
Library Catalog
We have automated our library, partly in thanks to a generous donation by the Women’s League. This project now allows all our members to search the library catalog from their computers at home. Beth Israel library patrons can also use smart phones to search the library.
Book Donations
The BIC Library is full of wonderful titles, but a little short on space. If you would like to donate books to the library, please contact us first, and we will check our catalog to see if we already have the titles. If we are unable to accept donations, we can suggest other organizations that accept used books.
How you can support the BIC Library
The Library’s operating budget is based solely on contributions from our members. If you use our library and enjoy reading our materials, then you may want to consider making a donation. Help at any level is appreciated!
