Dear PJ Library Families and Friends,

Purim is almost here—and that means costumes, giggles, upside-down moments, and a whole lot of joy! This colorful holiday reminds us that even when things feel uncertain, community, kindness, and laughter help us find our way. Whether you’re brand new to South Palm Beach County or have been celebrating with PJ Library for years, we’re so grateful you’re part of our wonderfully vibrant community.

Purim invites us to lean into fun while living out big Jewish values—giving generously, caring for one another, and showing up together. Through stories, celebrations, and shared moments, PJ Library helps families bring these values to life in ways that feel meaningful, memorable, and joyful.

Don’t miss what’s coming next! Check out our monthly newsletter for upcoming programs and family gatherings, and follow us on Instagram @pjlibraryspbc and on Facebook to stay in the loop and join the fun.

Wishing you a Purim filled with laughter, connection, and just the right amount of chaos! 🎭🎉

MORE FROM PJ LIBRARY

• PJ Library is once again partnering with Streit’s Matzos to tell more families about our free books, activities, and other resources. Look for the PJ Library logo on boxes of Streit’s Matzos in stores or at streitsmatzos.com, and enjoy our new seek-and-find activity on the back.
• Reminder: Older PJ Library readers have until the 10th of each month to log in and choose their next PJ Our Way book.
• Start practicing some of our 25 easy Passover recipes now and you’ll make it look effortless to keep the kosher coming the whole holiday long.
• Get ready for Passover with PJ Library’s family-friendly Haggadah, designed to keep seder guests of all ages engaged. You can buy print copies or get a free interactive download in multiple languages.
• Host your friends for a Get Together (whether for Shabbat, a holiday, or anything else Jewish) and then submit a report so we can send a $100 microgrant to cover your expenses. We’ve expanded the program so you can do this up to FIVE times this year!!! See the full rules and details.
