PJ Library

PJ Library is an international, award-winning Jewish family engagement program created by the Harold Grinspoon Foundation. Jewish children, newborns through eight years are eligible to receive PJ Library, a free Jewish book and CD-of-the-month club that is mailed home. Imagine their delight upon receiving a package every month with a special book or CD just for them!

PJ Library is open to Jewish children who live on the North Shore or in the Merrimack Valley of Massachusetts, or whose family is a member of a temple or JCC on the North Shore or in the Merrimack Valley. PJ Library North Shore is a gift from Lappin Foundation, Congregation Ahabat Sholom, Epstein Hillel School, and the Harold Grinspoon Foundation, with support from Combined Jewish Philanthropies. PJ Library Merrimack Valley is a gift from Lappin Foundation, Congregation Shalom, Temple Emanuel, and the Harold Grinspoon Foundation and is endorsed by Merrimack Valley Jewish Federation. The PJ Library monthly newsletter is sent to families with helpful information about PJ Library books and programs, Jewish holidays, and related arts and crafts activities.
