Did you know that ...
The Temple Israel Library has been upgraded with additional shelving?
- we have recently received more than 200 donated books?
- you can borrow audio/visual material (movies, CDs, cassettes, etc.)?
- the library is open any time during Temple Office hours or before or after services?
- books are borrowed on an honour system?
- You may keep books for 4 weeks and audio/visual items for 2 weeks?
- The sign-out system is simple and straightforward?
We have a new sign-out system -- no more cards. There is a sign-out sheet upstairs on the library table; to sign a book out, write the title, your name, and phone number on the sheet. When you return book(s), simply drop them into the box labelled "Returns." The same system works for the books displayed outside the Sanctuary.
We have available some recent books that have been or will soon be reviewed in our adult learning programs, and handouts form all of last year's and this year's adult courses.
There are more than 250 Jewish novels: historical, Israeli, modern, mystery, humourous and biographical.
We have books to help prepare Jewish meals, holiday celebratons, life cycle events, arts and crafts projects and celebration parties.
