Our Free Circulating Library
Our Library includes over 16,000 Jewish-interest audiobooks, large print, and braille books, representing a wide variety of perspectives and experiences in the Jewish tradition. We have fiction, history, poetry, humor, folktales, religious texts, and more. We carry books for all ages, in many languages. Materials borrowed from JBI’s library travel postage-free to and from our patrons’ doorsteps. We also provide audio subscriptions to magazines, news digests, and cultural programs.
