Families with children from birth through 12 years of age receive Jewish children’s books through this program sponsored by the Harold Grinspoon Foundation. PJ Library is made possible through partnerships with philanthropists and local Jewish organizations, like CUJF. In CU, we have served over 200 children to date. PJ Library welcomes all Jewish families, regardless of background or observance.
