Savannah (4). We moved to Naples from New York City almost five years ago.

Q: What is it like when PJ Library books arrive?
A: Hailey and Savannah love receiving their PJ Library books. Thanks to this program, over time, they have built up their own small library of Jewish children’s books.
Q: What are some of the things your children like about PJ Library books?
A: They love the simple descriptions of the holidays on the back of the books. Hailey especially loves the recipes and art projects included in many of the books. She loves to bring her PJ Library books to school to teach her class about Jewish holidays.
