- PJ Library is an international award-winning program designed to strengthen Jewish identity by sending free, high-quality Jewish children’s books to families every month. But PJ Library doesn’t just send books — it helps families connect to Jewish values, traditions and culture while building vibrant Jewish communities. PJ Library Minneapolis hosts regular events for families in Minneapolis and surrounding suburbs. We’re proud to be part of a diverse global Jewish community, and we love connecting families who live and celebrate in so many ways. Any family raising Jewish children from newborn through age eight is invited to enroll. Sign up today at pjlibrary.org.
- PJ Our Way is the next chapter of PJ Library, for kids ages 9-12. PJ Our Way kids get to choose their own middle-grade book each month from a selection of fiction, nonfiction and graphic novels featured on the PJ Our Way website. They can also submit reviews and videos about the books. In addition, participants can apply to be part of the national Design Team that has early access to PJ Our Way books and helps create content for the website. PJ Library Minneapolis also hosts local events for PJ Our Way kids to get to know each other. Sign up today at pjourway.com.
- Shalom Baby welcomes families with babies and toddlers into PJ Library and the broader Jewish community. Families with newborns are invited to a community baby shower to meet other families and receive swag bags with free goodies and discounts from community partners. PJ Library Minneapolis also hosts a monthly Shalom Baby Circle Time, and Parent Connectors organize regular community gatherings for families with young children.
