The Place Library
Read • Learn • Share
In Memory of Chaya Rochel
The Place Library was created in memory of Chaya Rochel, who loved to read, to learn and, above all, to share what she learned with others. We hope to carry that spirit forward by creating a living resource where books, knowledge and ideas can be discovered and shared—within The Place and online.
The Place Library - Something for everyone at any age!
Both a resource for the general community and mental health professionals
Our library combines a physical collection at The Place with an online library and resource collection, making books accessible wherever you are.
The Physical Library
Our library is located at The Place and includes books covering a wide range of topics related to emotional wellbeing, relationships, family life and professional development.
Borrowing Books
Our collection is catalogued through Libib, making it easy to search for a particular title, author or subject.
Mondays: 11:00–12:30
17:00–18:30
During these hours you are welcome to browse the collection, borrow books and explore our resources.
Explore the Library Online
You don’t have to be at The Place to discover what we have to offer.
Our online library allows you to browse our collection and discover books by:
- Topic
- Author
- Title
- Area of interest
In addition to our physical collection, we are gradually developing an online resource library featuring recommended articles, websites, videos, podcasts and other resources related to emotional wellbeing and mental health.
Our goal is to make The Place Library a place where you can come not only to find a book, but to discover something useful.

Our Children's Library
Books can open wonderful conversations with children about feelings, relationships, challenges and the world around them.
We offer a special Children’s Reading Hour once a month.
Mondays | 16:00–17:00
Children are invited to join us for stories, discussion, imagination and connection in a warm and welcoming environment.
Each session may focus on a different story or theme, giving children an opportunity to enjoy books while exploring emotional and social themes in an age-appropriate way.
Have a Recommendation?
Our library belongs to the community, and we want it to continue growing in response to what people actually need.
Have a book you think we should add?
Know of an excellent article, podcast, video or resource?
We’d love to hear from you.
Come Explore!
Whether you visit us in person or browse from home, we hope The Place Community Library becomes a place you return to again and again.
Read. Learn. Explore. Connect.
