About PJ Library®

 

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

Since PJ came to the Lehigh Valley in the fall of 2011, more than 1,000 books have been sent out to nearly 300 children.

 

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 or CD 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!

 

This program is made possible through the generous donations of the Wax Family Fund of the Lehigh Valley Jewish Foundation, Bonnie and Bobby Hammel and the Jean B. Weiner Foundation.

 

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.

        "We love the PJ Library program. There is nothing more exciting for a child than to receive mail and for a parent to receive free educational books! Our oldest son loves to read the baby books to his brother and show him the ones he received as well. These books have fostered some real family moments in our home!"
