Pajamas!
Because we know special times of reading together and dancing along with music happen when you’re in your PJs!

Because fundamentally, we believe that when parents and children read together, it changes the world. There are some fantastic Jewish children’s books out there – books that are as wonderful as the classics you may have been reading to your children already. We know high quality Jewish books can be expensive and difficult to find. We are sending these materials to you because we want you to have them. We believe sharing these stories and songs will enrich your family life.

One catch – you need to READ the books and LISTEN to the music. Read, listen and sing along to your heart’s content!

Each child will receive a total of ten children’s books and one CD. In addition to that, one month’s mailing will be a parenting book for the adults of the family to enjoy. It is our intention not to send duplicate copies of CDs or parenting books to any families. To learn what specific selections your child/ren will be receiving, visit the Books & Music link.

Books are selected by a Book Selection Committee made up of experts in the fields of Jewish Library Science and Jewish Early Childhood Education. Each child enrolled in The PJ Library is categorized according to his/her date of birth. For example, children born any time during the first half last year are in the one-year-old group. Those children will receive materials in the one-year-old collection over the course of twelve months. When your family re-enrolls for a second year, the child will then move on to the selections for the two-year old group.

We have selected a unique list of materials for each age group. Our lists do change yearly, however, there are some books we consider to be classics and therefore, they will never be rotated out. If your younger child eventually gets some duplicates of books your older child received, remember how special it is for each child to have his/her “own” copy. You can also choose to use the newer copy and “retire” an older, worn book.

Register online. If you would like to enroll a child who does not live in the Greater Savannah area, there is a $60 fee for each registration in communities not currently enrolled in PJ Library.

Most families receive their first book within eight weeks of signing up for The PJ Library. Books are mailed out on the first of each month. Because we use bulk mail, they usually arrive in homes mid-month. If you have not received your first book with eight weeks, please contact us so that we may resolve the problem.
