In the PJ Library book Shmulik Paints the Town, Israeli Independence Day is coming up and the mayor is planning a celebration with awards and speeches, music and dancing. To prepare for the festivities, the mayor asks Shmulik to paint a mural and decorate the park around it, and Shmulik agrees. But then what? Come hear this comical story, presented by author Lisa Rose and her special guest, to find out how Shmulik handles this honor. Shmulik Paints the Town is also a Jewish Book Council featured book. After the reading, participants will create a mural to be hung in the Dwares JCC.
We will be using a variety of art mediums, so please dress appropriately.

Hello PJ Families!
Hoping everyone is doing well this winter. I know it can be difficult keeping children entertained when the days are short and outside play is limited. Luckily, you are receiving wonderful PJ Library books! And families who have children two years and older have received Family Tree Decal Kits.
What are your thoughts about the kits? If you have pictures or a story you would like to share about your child's experience with the decals, please consider posting on our
PJ Facebook page
.
Happy Tu B'Shevat!
