Free books and music to nurture Jewish families.

Reading stories and listening to music with your child are among the most powerful and nurturing early childhood learning experiences. The PJ Library can help you transform these moments into Jewish experiences.

Sign up for The PJ Library and you’ll receive a free, high quality children’s book or CD each month that will enrich your Jewish family relationships. Children must be between the ages of six months and five years of age to enroll.

The PJ library is free for the first year, with a minimal donation requested each year thereafter. Funded by the Tampa JCC & Federation and the 1818 Philanthropic Giving Circle, it’s a gift that will nourish a Jewish life from the start.

Research indicates that Jewish experiences in the first five years establish the basis of your child’s Jewish sense of self. Through The PJ Library, parents can create a special time with their children to learn and appreciate their Jewish heritage.

The mission of the Tampa JCC is to help create vibrant Jewish life in Tampa Florida and beyond. The PJ Library, the Harold Grinspoon Foundation’s newest initiative, aims to enrich your family’s life with Jewish stories and songs.

From the Tampa JCC family to yours. A gift for their future. Sign up today.

It’s never too early to create treasured Jewish memories with your family. Sign up your child, and tell your friends, about The PJ Library. Introduce a new generation to the richness and depth of our Jewish heritage.
