The Library Of Agudas Chassidei Chabad (also Chabad Library or Lubavitch library) is a research library owned by Agudas Chasidei Chabad whose content was collected by the rebbes (hereditary rabbinical dynastic leaders) of Chabad-Lubavitch. The library is housed next to the Lubavitch world headquarters at 770 Eastern Parkway in Brooklyn, New York, and is utilized by Chabad and general Judaic scholars. It is viewed by thousands of visitors each year.[1][2]
The library contains more than 100,000 letters, artifacts, and pictures belonging to, written by and for the rebbes of Chabad and their Hasidim complete the collection. Notable among the collection is the siddur of the Baal Shem Tov, which is kept in a locked safe and is only handled by the head librarian.[3]
