Hi We belong to a modern orthodox synagogue. There is a library in the net midrash and one family (especially) supports it financially. There’s no librarian and I am not sure if the books ever circulate outside the building Another friend librarian is also a congregant but neither of us has ever been asked to help and our offers have been acknowledged but never used Shoshanah seidman

In my view, a bet midrash is a space where there are books meant to be used in the space - which is different than a library (with someone actively curating a collection which can also be lent out to users). But I certainly am open to other thoughts! In this case, I was specifically looking for synagogue librarians in Orthodox libraries.

My synagogue has a library of mostly seforim (religious books, tanach ,commentaries in both Hebrew and English) which teachers use in classes given at the synagogue. Does that qualify for the support the donor would like to give to a synagogue library?
