PJ Library®

 

The PJ Library® is a unique program that seeks to encourage Jewish families with young children to explore Jewish literature.  In order to accomplish that goal, each month The PJ Library® sends an age appropriate Jewish content book or CD to enrolled children between the ages of 6 months to 8 years. Created by The Harold Grinspoon Foundation (HGF), The PJ Library is funded by local philanthropists and organizations in partnership with HGF. 

 

The PJ Library initiative is building a stronger Jewish people, one book at a time. At this time when may young families in our society are exploring how they want to raise their children, the PJ Library offers resources for making Jewish choices and establishing Jewish connections.

 

The Jewish Federation of Florida's Gulf Coast proudly supports over 500 monthly subscriptions to date.
