Our Mission
-
The Tucson Jewish Community Library will
serve as a repository for books and audio-visual materials for the Tucson Jewish community. The goal is to recycle Jewish books by taking books that are no longer wanted by their present owners and put them into the hands of "new" readers.
- The far-reaching
goal of the library is to widen and deepen the Jewish knowledge and understanding of the Jewish community and the general community, and to introduce the literary, philosophical, historical and religious treasures that comprise a portion of the 4000-year record of the Jewish people.
- The Tucson Jewish Community Library will
serve as a lending library for all of Tucson's citizens, Jew and non-Jew, and as a resource and research library for the citizens, teachers and students in the Tucson area.
- The library is also intended to
serve as an integrative force bringing together literary and visual materials from our various community institutions into an accessible central location. The library has its own website
www.tucsonjewishlibrary.org and will be linked to the JCC and the other Jewish community sites.
- The library will
serve as a "gift center" for the rabbis and teachers in the Jewish community. Whenever there are more than two copies of a book in the library they will be available, without cost, to be given as gifts by the rabbis and Jewish teachers to their congregants and students. These books are currently kept at the offices of the Coalition for Jewish Education. The phone number is (520) 577-9393.
