About PJ Library®

 

THE PJ LIBRARY IS A NATIONAL BOOK PROGRAM implemented on a local level that mails free, high-quality children's books and music to families every month. It is a program of the Harold Grinspoon Foundation, and it is made possible through partnerships with philanthropists and local Jewish organizations throughout North America.

 

Today, more than 78,000 families in more than 145 communities in the United States and Canada are able to explore the timeless core values of Judaism through the art and literature of these free children's books.

PJ Library in the Lehigh Valley

The Jewish Federation of the Lehigh Valley, in partnership with the Jewish Community Center of Allentown and the Jewish Day School of the Lehigh Valley, is proud to administer this national program on a local level.

 

All families raising Jewish children from age six months through eight years are welcome to enroll.

 

Once you're a PJ family, an age-appropriate Jewish-themed book, CD, or DVD will be delivered right to your door every month for each enrolled child in your household. You will be asked to reenroll in the program each year, but it is ABSOLUTELY FREE!

 

Questions? Contact coordinator Abby Trachtman at 610-821-5500 x321 or abbyt@jflv.org.

      Why I Love The PJ Library

        “We’ve belonged to the program in L.A. for years, and my daughter loves getting the books in the mail each month. When she sees the package, she knows right away that it’s going to be something fun, whether it’s a book, a CD or a DVD.”

         

        - Kara Kastan, new Lehigh Valley resident

         

        “My grandchildren are so thrilled every time a book arrives. The program is important because parents and children can have a simple discussion about the story and Jewish values in each book, and it’s all free to the parents.”

         

        - Vicki Wax, Lehigh Valley resident with grandchildren in New Jersey
