The PJ Library program in Southern Arizona is expanding to include kids ages 9-11 with PJ Our Way. Offering free, age-appropriate monthly books with Jewish content, PJ Our Way puts kids in control of their book choices via a protected, regulated website, pjourway.org. Kids can also contribute book reviews, blog posts and more on the website, creating an interactive club — for kids, by kids.

Each month, from the 1st-10th, kids visit the PJ Our Way website to choose a book from a selection of four titles. All books have been reviewed by a panel of PJ educators, parents and kids. Every title comes with a synopsis and author bio, ratings and reviews, and video trailers. P

J Library’s books and mailings are funded by the Harold Grinspoon Foundation. Local partners help to fund local programming, marketing and part-time staff. Kids can visit pjourway.org to learn more and get started.
