Hi Daniel, Michelle, I know that it is ancient history but in the 1960s and early 1970s, the Jewish Public Library (of Montreal ) had a library branch at Congregation Beth Ora, a Modern Orthodox congregation, in what would have been at the time a new suburb called St. Laurent. The books were catalogued and there was a card borrowing system. It was staffed part-time, I believe by non-professionals, but managed by a professional librarian.
Kesser Maariv, in Skokie, has a library, which is well-organized, with indications as to which books one can borrow and others which must be consulted in house. There is no librarian but in all fairness, there is no admin person, either at shul The rabbi and family seem to be the ones managing everything.
