This Judaica library is one of the largest in the southeastern United

States. A permanent exhibit features Isaac Bashevis Singer's writing desk, chairs, and lamp. In addition, the library has the 1978 Nobel Prize Laureate in Literature's walking cane, Panama hat, personal photographs, hundreds of his books and other personal artifacts, some of which come from his Florida residence. During his later years, Singer lived in Surfside where Isaac Bashevis Singer Boulevard (95th Street) was named for him. A new permanent exhibit of miniature scalemmodels by Albert Barry is based on the wooden synagogues of Poland.
