Parents of small children know that stories are for more than
just bedtime. The wonderful habit of ending your child’s
busy day by reading together inspired this popular national
program funded in part through the Harold Grinspoon
Foundation. The PJ Library offers free, high-quality Jewish
books and music each month to children from birth through
8 years across North America. The Harry & Rose Samson
Family Jewish Community Center offers this program to
the Milwaukee Jewish Community and engages families in
special programs to connect PJ Library families. For more
