PJ Library

The PJ Library reaches out to Jewish families with young children to help create stronger Jewish homes to foster children’s curiosity about their Jewish heritage and help families explore their Jewish identity.

The PJ Library is a Jewish literacy and outreach program for families with children age six months through six years. Children enrolled in PJ Library receive Jewish-content books and music on a monthly basis through the mail. Each delivery includes a guide for parents with tips on ways to enrich their use of the book or music.

The first year of enrollment in the program is offered to greater Rhode Island families at no charge. Year two will also be free, thanks to a generous grant from the Harold Grinspoon Foundation. Subsc     riptions for children who live outside of greater Rhode Island are available at a cost of $60 per year. In addition to the monthly mailings, the Bureau of Jewish Education, in conjunction with local partners, presents a variety of educational program opportunities throughout the state.
