The Year of Excellence in Jewish Children’s Literature @ the Bet Shalom Library

The Bet Shalom Library is dedicating 5767 to expanding our Jewish Children’s literature section.

Please remember the library for monetary donations to mark special occasions or to remember loved ones. This will help us truly make this the year of excellence in children’s literature. For more information on volunteering or donating to the Bet Shalom Library, please return to the Library Home Page.

We are looking for donations of books of Jewish children’s literature that your children have out grown and no longer use (No religious school text books please) and new books of notable Jewish content, especially fiction for middle grade aged children and young adults.
