PJ Library of Vermont

The Yearning for Learning Center, with the help of the Harold Grinspoon Foundation, the PJ Library Steering Committee, and some very generous donors, has launched a new program called the PJ Library of Vermont.

Now, any family with at least one Jewish parent may sign up their child(ren) age 6 months through 7 years old, to receive FREE monthly Jewish books for one year. They may renew their FREE subscription after the first year. Every book comes with helpful and informative parenting guides. Parents also receive books on Jewish parenting, family life and other topics of interest. There is no obligation. Special PJ Library programs will be available to the families.

Grandparents who have grandchildren living in Vermont are welcome to sign them up. If you have grandchildren living in other states, you could go to the PJ Library website, find out if their community is sponsoring the PJ Library and sign them under their community. If their community is not yet sponsoring the PJ Library, you could pay a $60 fee per grandchild to the Harold Grinspoon Foundation.

Your synagogue is eligible to receive one set of free books for one age group for one year. Please contact Rabbi Tobie Weisman for more information.

If you have children in this age range or know people who do, please encourage them to sign up by going to www.pjlibrary.org and clicking on Vermont. So far 90 children are signed up for this first year. We have raised enough money for 250 children to sign up for the first year, so don't delay!

If you would like to help sponsor the PJ Library of Vermont, be on the Steering Committee, help out in any way, or have any questions, please feel free to contact Rabbi Tobie Weisman.

Happy Reading,
