PJ Library is an international Jewish book subscription program for children and their families which has become an indispensable tool to connect families to the Jewish community.  PJ Library in Boston is administered by the Jewish Community Centers of Greater Boston and is the cornerstone of the JCC’s efforts to engage families with young children in Jewish life. Each month, PJ Library Greater Boston sends out more than 3,000 books and distributes a monthly PJ e-newsletter to over 4,000 families who reside in 98 towns in the Greater Boston area.

The coordinator is the face of PJ Library in the Boston community, interacting with families, strategic partners and, at times, donors.
