Minnie Cobey Memorial Library
A rich and varied catalogue of material from Judaic fiction and nonfiction, periodicals, DVD's and VHS tapes to children's materials.
The Minnie Cobey Memorial Library, under the direction of Helen Chronister, Librarian, serves the scholarly needs of our members. It is considered to be one of the outstanding congregational libraries in the Midwest, with over 5,000 volumes of Judaica and allied subjects. Teachers, students, and members of the general community are welcome to use the library facilities. A separate collection for children numbers close to 600 books that benefit the students of the Samuel M. Melton Religious School. Books on the Jewish holidays, Jewish values, and Israel, as well as story collections and young adult fiction can be found. The Library also has a growing collection of videos of Jewish interest.
Permanently endowed by the late Harry Cobey and his family in loving memory of their beloved wife and mother, the Minnie Cobey Memorial Library Fund ensures the availability of additional books. The library's collection is now online with the other Jewish libraries in the Columbus area at the Online Jewish Resource Center.
