Have you written a book? Perhaps your grandparent authored one? It could be any type of book - a cookbook, a memorial book or even an e-book…
For 125 years, we at the National Library of Israel have been collecting every book, newspaper and publication of every type published in Israel, with the aim of preserving these items and documenting Israeli culture, for our own sake and for the sake of future generations.
Check if your book can be found in the National Library Catalogue; if you cannot find it there, then you have a golden opportunity to grant your book immortality! Send two copies as soon as possible to the National Library and you will be able to preserve your book under optimal conditions, while also granting it extensive exposure through the Library Catalogue - the largest book catalogue in Israel.
You can transfer the book to us using one of the following methods:
• By mail – the National Library of Israel, Receiving Department, POB 39105, Jerusalem, 9139002.
• You can send a digital copy to: [email protected]
• You can deposit the copies personally at the National Library building in Jerusalem: the National Library of Israel on the Hebrew University's Givat Ram Campus, Jerusalem. *For further details and to arrange vehicle entry please contact us.
