HISTORIC CHILDREN’S BOOK EXHIBIT

The Seattle foyer and library display cases have been referbished and will be highlighting nostalgic children’s books and 25 years of children’s bookplate designs. Browse through a selection of children’s books from the 1920’s through the 1960’s. Discover our talented artist’s works as we show off Benjamin Zukor Children’s Library bookplate designs from the last 25 years. A huge thanks to Charlene Kahn and Therese Stein – two extraordinary library committee volunteers who worked tirelessly to make this possible. 

Our library has a new online catalog! Visit us at: http://tdhs.hl.scoolaid.net/bin/home.
A couple of many nice features on the new catalog include seeing book covers and the newest items added to the collection.

Winning bookmark designs are available in the library and ready for you to take home your bookmark

About Temple De Hirsch Sinai Libraries
Samuel Rosenberg Memorial Library, Seattle • Spitzer Family Library, Bellevue • Benjamin Zukor Children's Library, Seattle & Bellevue

Temple De Hirsch Sinai houses over 10,000 volumes covering a wide range of Judaic topics including Bible, spirituality, history, holidays, cooking, fiction and much more. Patrons throughout the greater Seattle area make use of this extensive collection by visiting one of our two locations – the beautiful, historic Capitol Hill campus or the bright, informal Bellevue campus.

Over one third of our collection contains the Benjamin Zukor Children’s Library in both locations with picture books, juvenile fiction, teen fiction and a variety of non-fiction topics. In addition to our circulating books and non-circulating historic works, we have musical CDs, periodicals and audio books. Our reference section encompasses the Bible, Talmud, Jewish encyclopedias, Hebrew/English dictionaries and many other resources.

We serve a diverse population including Religion School students discovering the joy of reading for the first time; Temple members looking for the next great Jewish book; and scholars, students, writers and others within our congregation and throughout the community. For more information, please contact Toby Harris, Librarian.
