The Leadership Circle
Our Mission
Since 1914, the Jewish Public Library has been a vibrant hub for exploring Jewish life, culture, and history.
Through engaging programs, a rich collection of books, and treasured archives, we bring people together to share
stories, foster connection, and celebrate community. We are here to inspire learning and nurture a deeper sense
of belonging for all.
Enriching Jewish Life. Strengthening Community.
