Committees

The Library Committee maintains and improves Beth Am's library collection, which at present consists of over 9,000 books, VCRs, DVDs and tapes. The committee also provides support to our part-time librarian, Diane Rauschwerger. Diane staffs the library during Sunday Program and some weekday afternoons. She also presents a "Mother Goose Program" for younger children. When Beth Am invites speakers during the year Diane and members of the library committee provide a tabletop display of books on the speaker's subject. Committee members also help organize new books and tapes and add them to our computer listing. The committee meets monthly with Diane. There is also a Library Materials Acquisition Sub-committee which meets monthly to check books the library receives as donations, read recommendations for new books and approve the purchase of these new books.
