With over 17 libraries in Tel Aviv, you can find everything from Turkish literature to children’s stories written in Hebrew. There are even digital libraries available online with collections of books by hundreds of authors spanning multiple genres. Whether you’re looking for history books outlining the formation of Israel or exploring Jewish identity through the pages of Yiddish fiction, you can find what you need at one of Tel Aviv’s libraries.
Stepping into any library in Tel Aviv is like walking into a repository of years' worth knowledge and culture. You will find not only physical materials including books and magazines but also digital materials such as databases that are available free-of-charge on your own computer!
Apart from offering an extensive material selection, many libraries offer educational programs such as author lectures, reading groups for adults & children alike as well as teaching courses about photography or learning how to cook Mediterranean dishes.
What makes a visit to any library in Tel Aviv particularly special is the level of customer service provided by staff members – whether it's guidance on how best to use the available resources or simply providing friendly conversation during coffee breaks.
In addition to all its other features, some libraries have themed exhibitions with unique artifacts sourced from around the world.
