PJ Our Way: Happy Hour

Thursday, September 26 • 3:45 – 4:45 PM

PJ Our Way is back! Celebrate the relaunch with a “happy hour” where kids and adults can come together, enjoy snacks, and more.

PJ Our Way is a free program that provides Jewish-themed books to children ages 9–12 in the United States and Canada. The program is part of PJ Library and is designed to be kid-driven, allowing children to select their own books based on their interests and reading levels. Each month, children can choose one of four books from a selection that includes fantasy, historical fiction, mysteries, biographies, and graphic novels.

Can’t attend? Join our PJOW Student Advisory Board so you can be a part of developing programming initiatives that bring the books to life! Click HERE to fill out the interest form.

Questions? Contact Rachel Pressman, Community Programs Director.

Special thanks to Sue & Rick Strait PJ Library Young Family Engagement Endowment Fund for ensuring PJ Library’s current and future sustainability for the families in our community.
