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.

After my husband became blind, the wonderful Talking Books you sent him brought him hours and hours of pleasure. Thank you for making his difficult problems so much more bearable.
