Samuel Osher Memorial Library HOURS

The Samuel Osher Memorial Library will remain closed for now. We will provide updates here on the website and on the calendar, www.etzchaimme.org/calendar. If you would like more information or would like to make arrangements for borrowing library materials, please email David at library@etzchaimme.org


When you arrive at the synagogue, please use the bell located on the left side of the door. (We can’t hear you knocking.) If we are in, we will answer and come down to let you in. If no one answers, please call 207-284-5771 and leave a message.
