Hello from PJ Library Calgary! This is Sydney, PJ Library and Family Engagement Coordinator with your January update!

Happy New Year and welcome to 2023! I hope that you had a wonderful winter break with your families and friends and are settling back into your routines. We have a very exciting and busy few months coming up so I hope to see you soon!

PJOW families please remember to go into your accounts and choose your books by the 10th of the month. Parents of children who are 8 1/2 and older, can now activate their children's accounts at pjourway.org.

Please remember to email us if your family has moved and note that it takes around six weeks for an address change to be processed. As always, we want to know if there is a new family who we should welcome to PJ Library, or if you have added a baby to yours.

Take care and stay in touch!
