Hello from PJ Library Calgary!

This is Sydney, PJ Library Program and Development Manager with your February update!

February brings stories that help us plant seeds for growth, both in nature and in ourselves. From Tu B’Shevat themes of caring for our world to the joy and silliness of Purim just around the corner, this month’s PJ Library picks are full of heart, laughter, and learning. I hope you take time to spend time as a family in nature this month connecting to the trees and wishing them a Happy Birthday!

If your family has recently moved, please remember to email us your new address. It can take up to six weeks for an address change to take effect, so the sooner we know, the better!

We also love welcoming new faces! If you've just added a new baby to your family, or know another family who should be a part of the PJ Library community, please reach out as we would be so excited to say hello and get them connected.

Wishing you a cozy, story-filled February!

All the best,

Sydney Truax
