Hundreds of Jewish books, travelling thousands of kilometres, reaching readers all over rural and regional Australia.
The RARA Jewish Mobile Public Library (RJMPL) is a fully stocked Jewish library inside a motorhome that travels across Australia. It brings Jewish books for children, teens, and adults right to the people and places that need them most.

Our collection includes titles for all ages and stages, such as:

The catalogue is always growing as we purchase new titles and receive donated books in excellent condition.
