Located in central San Francisco, the Jewish Community Library is much more than a resource for Jewish books.  It serves as a gateway for individuals and families to encounter Jewish history, ideas, texts, to take part in informal classes and workshops, and to be exposed to Jewish culture through a diverse array of speakers, art exhibits, films, and programs for families.  The Library is a program of the Bureau of Jewish Education of San Francisco, the Peninsula, Marin and Sonoma Counties.  For more information, go to www.bjesf.org/library.htm

The Friends of the Jewish Community Library is an independent nonprofit organization, founded in 1984.  Its mission is to raise funds for Library programs, to promote the Library in the Jewish and general community, and to assist the Library in its goal of achieving excellence as a resource for Jewish enlightenment and education.
