Hello from PJ Library Calgary! This is Sydney, PJ Library and Family Engagement Coordinator with your March update!
As we get closer to Spring, I hope that the weather starts to warm up and we can spend more time outside. This month we have a lot of fun Purim events so I hope to see you all there!
PJOW families please remember to go into your accounts and choose your books by the 10th of the month. Parents of children who are 8 1/2 and older, can now activate their children's accounts at pjourway.org.
Please remember to email us if your family has moved and note that it takes around six weeks for an address change to be processed.
As always, we want to know if there is a new family who we should welcome to PJ Library, or if you have added a baby to yours.
Take care and stay in touch!

PJ Our Way kids have until the 10th of the month to log in and choose their next middle-grade book or graphic novel.
- PJ Library is switching to a new email service that will improve subscriber communications. In March, you will receive a few messages about it so that your email provider becomes familiar with the new source. Clicking on the links in these upcoming messages will help make sure PJ Library’s great content doesn’t start going to your spam/junk folder.
-
Purim begins at sundown on March 23. PJ Library’s Purim Hub is filled (like a Hamentaschen) with costume ideas, festive treats, holiday crafts, and a lot more.
