Library

The temple library provides information resources to support the development of Jewish values, observance and identity. The collection offers a selection of key texts in these areas in support of these goals. 

Please see our list of online literary and readers' resources.

The collection is cataloged and available online at at  https://www.libib.com/u/tbeaptos.  This is the best way to find out what is available and where it is shelved.  If you wish to browse, books are shelved according to subject using the Weine classification system which mimics the Dewey Decimal system.  And you can find books using the shelf edge labels indicating main subject areas (e.g., Biography, Bible, Philosophy, Liturgy, History, Literature).

The collection is available for borrowing (with the exception of sacred books and selected reference titles).  Temple members can check out items for 30 days by using their email address or library card at the self-service station near the entrance.   

Work building the collection is ongoing.  If you want to help there are a number of ways you can support this work.
