Make books your companion; let your bookshelves be your garden…”

The Meyers Library of KI, located on the second floor of the synagogue, is one of the largest and finest synagogue libraries in the city. With Reference and Judaica selections and over 4000 volumes of contemporary Jewish literature, the collection runs the gamut from history to cookbooks, from biography to travel, from ethics to Jewish sports heroes.

The “Kids’ Corner” is stocked with more than 600 Jewish children’s books, with selections of preschoolers through young adults.

Current bestsellers are also available to our patrons. These newest and most popular fiction and nonfiction books on the Bestseller lists are available for KI members to borrow at no cost.

Membership at KI includes full use of the library facilities. Please stop in, browse a while, and bring home a book to be your companion.
