Bibliotheca Aramaica (also "Biblioteca Arameo") is the name of a private library located in Charlotte, North Carolina, containing manuscripts, printed works and digital archives in Hebrew, Aramaic, Syriac, English and other languages. This website is made available to feature some of the manuscripts currently within the library by providing digital scans, photographs and transcribed or newly typeset works to the public. On occasion printed versions of the same and reprints of older, out-of-print works, will be made available freely and to those who wish to purchase these at nominal costs.

The physical library is not a public institution. To gain access you must be invited by the owner Ya'aqub Younan-Levine. The owner does not respond to requests for access under any circumstances. Typically, the only individuals invited are those from the academic community. Financial contributions are not requested nor accepted. However, contributions are taken in the form of manuscripts and books. Such contributions may not necessarily serve as a "foot in the door" for obtaining an invitation to visit the library. Please write to make arrangements.
