Hello, PJ Library family!

I hope your summer has been enjoyable thus far! As we approach the "back-to-school" time of year, I would like to remind you of any summer reading requirements for your child. Did you know that a variety of the PJOW books are also on public library reading lists? Let me know if you have trouble finding a list or book for your child's age group. For those who are not in school yet, reading to and with your child stimulates their imagination and helps them form an understanding of the world around them. It also teaches language development and listening skills. PJ Library and PJOW books are always excellent choices to read together with your family!
 
If you haven't had a chance yet to take our PJ Library Programming Survey, I invite you to spend a few minutes filling it out. I promise it will take less than five minutes, yet it will provide us with extremely valuable information as we plan for the upcoming year. As always, should you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact me anytime.

Best,
Vice President of Programming
