As an Orthodox (retired) librarian who frequents our local library branch, I think religious patrons would appreciate:
Books on subjects relating to many aspects of a religious lifestyle in addition to holidays (prayer, interpersonal and family relationships, Biblical themes and people, mitzvah observance, etc.) Music and story videos and those featuring holidays and other themes Nonfiction including history and biography as well as inspirational materials Books of interest to adults as well as children (I personally like to check out the adult section) Hope this helps you. Have a happy Pesach!
