The Bharatiya Community Library

The Bharatiya Community Library is proud to have 25 student volunteers, ranging in age from 7 to 18, serving our patrons. Today, we wish them the very best as they start the new school year or begin their college careers!

The library will be closed next weekend, Aug. 30-31, for the Labor Day holiday. It will reopen on Saturday, Sept. 6.

Dear Patrons, On Sunday, Aug. 10, the library space will be closed, but you can find us at our Anand Bazaar booth, located in the lower rotunda, outside the banquet hall shopping area, starting at 11 a.m. We'll have toys and puzzles available for children, and volunteers will be on hand to answer questions about the library. New temple members can sign up for a library card to take advantage of borrowing privileges! The library will reopen for its regular hours on Saturday, Aug. 16, at 10:30 a.m.

We just received this shipment of Ghee Happy's Diwali Coloring Books, by celebrated illustrator Sanjay Patel, and they're waiting for you at the Bharatiya Community Library!

During the weekend of Nov. 2-3, 2024, the first 10 patrons to sign up for a new Bharatiya Temple membership and a library card will receive a free copy of the coloring book. (For new members only.)

Remember: Temple memberships initiated in November remain in force through the end of 2025, and you can begin enjoying borrowing privileges at the library as soon as you sign up.
