Temple Library We are the "people of the book."

Shir Tikvah Library Group
The Shir Tikvah Library group is responsible for developing a library that meets our members’ needs and interests. We encourage you to drop in to enjoy our collection or give a few hours to help maintain and improve this important Temple resource. With windows overlooking the pond, the library is a delightful place to enjoy the pleasures of book browsing.
