Welcome to PJ Library in Greater Hartford!
We are thrilled to offer each of your children, age appropriate PJ Library books mailed right to your home at no cost to you. Families share with us how much the books bring Jewish values, holidays, and concepts into their lives and are often their favorite books for bedtime, quiet time, or anytime!
PJ Library is even more than the books in your mailbox.
You will receive our monthly e-newsletter highlighting family events happening virtually and in person, throughout the Greater Hartford area including the JCC, synagogues, schools, and in public spaces.
Some of our most popular programs include playdates, Shabbat gatherings, holiday celebrations, Mitzvah (good deed) projects, and story times. While the children learn and have fun, you can connect with other local families engaging in Jewish life.
Our community’s Facebook page is the best place to visit for up-to-date information about programs, events, and tips.
