Introduction
The Temple Emunah library features a great collection of adult and children’s books and DVDs. We have a computer that visitors can use to do their own research, with a printer available as well. This computer can also be used to search for books on our on-line catalog. You can also bring your own laptop and use our wireless connection.
You can use the library during the week. The office will unlock the door for you, if it is locked. Officially, we are open during Hebrew school hours, and on Shabbat from noon to 1:30 pm. On Shabbat, you can borrow books by placing the book card in a preprinted envelope with your name on it, and leaving it to be entered into the computer later.
Here is a partial list of new books and DVDs that we have purchased or have been donated to the library this year (2008-2009).

- -To encourage reading for pleasure as well as for information
- -To promote Jewish culture
- -To act as a resource to enhance members’ abilities to celebrate the holidays, know G-d, themselves, and delight in being Jewish
The Temple Emunah library has about 4000 books of Jewish interest or by Jewish Authors.
The library has a new look! Come and see our new furniture, children’s rug and librarian’s desk. Coming soon – comfortable reading chairs. We also have a new computer which we are using to bring the library in to the 21st century. We are in the process of cataloging all of the books in the library which will make it easier to finding what you need.
We are in the process of updating our children’s collection and have been helped by many of you who generously donated books at Shuk Emunah. We also have many new teen and adult books.
