Welcome to the Library!

Temple Israel has a wonderful resource available to all our members. The Temple library is open and self serve whenever the building is open. I encourage you to use it. The library is supported by your donations. Donations of used materials, books and videos, are also accepted.  Recently we were able to remodel and update the facility from floor to ceiling. New materials on on display.
