Hello PJ Library family!

Summer is quickly approaching and the talk around campus is mainly surrounding the opening of our amazing new aquatic center.  If you aren't a JCC member, please reach out to me - this summer I'm offering a free one-day pass to any PJ family! All I'm asking in exchange is your input on our PJ Library programming - I'll even buy you coffee while we chat. Be in touch & enjoy the sunshine!
