Though bookstores in general are more difficult to find these days, all the ones I visit have a small Jewish section. We also have a great library system (rated on of the best in the country) so I can get a lot of books at my public library. Synagogues too, often have libraries where we can check out books on Jewish topics. My synagogue library is TINY (we lack space) but there are others in the area with vast collections that are open to the public.
Thank you very much for the link!
I'm sure there are Jewish communities in Kentucky. There are cities much larger than mine, but they are so far off they're considered day trips. If you combine the two cities closest to me, you still get a population of much less than 10,000, so it really is a small sample size. That said, I won't pretend to know everyone in either city so it's definitely possible that there someone's closer than I think. That's why I'm thankful for the Internet, which gives people the ability to reach across continents and speak to others.
