Our Book Monster Is Hungry for Your PJ Library Books! |
|
PJ Library—the organization that sends free Jewish storybooks to children in Queens and around the world every month—is partnering with us this summer for a special book drop!
Do you have PJ Library books at home that your kids have outgrown?
Please drop them off in ACI's lobby between July 11 and July 20. You may bring your books to the center Sunday through Friday from 9:30am to 1pm; ring the doorbell to come in and drop off.
Your gently used books will go on to spark Jewish joy for another family—while making space on your shelves for new stories! |
