Tired of screens? Read a book! No more space at home for books? Borrow one from the Library.
Browse the PAS Library online catalog.
Housed on the third floor of the 87th Street building, the library has a rich collection of books on the Bible, holidays, theology, guides to Jewish living, and Israel, as well as fiction, poetry, and short stories, for everyone from toddlers to their grandparents.Library books are in three rooms:
Beit Midrash: Adult nonfiction, short stories, and poetry
Room 3A (next door): Biographies, memoirs, and oversize books
The library is available for browsing and reading unless there is a class taking place in the room.
To sign out a book, please fill out a form and leave it in the box.
There are forms and a box in each of the library rooms. NOTE: The form asks for the number on the book’s barcode label. The barcode label is either on the back cover of the book or on the title page. Under the barcode, there is a 6-digit number beginning with a 1. That is the number you need to fill in on the form, NOT the letters and numbers on the book’s spine.
To return books, please leave them on the cart by the door to the Beit Midrash.
If it is Shabbat, take the book, and after Shabbat, email the information requested on the form after Shabbat.
